Star and Planet almanac,
Star and Planet calendar 2008

For 2008 there is no English version of the Star and Planet Calendar. The English compagnie which published our work in 2001, 2002 and 2003 under the name "Star and Planet Almanac" cancelled April 2003 at the last moment 6,000 copies of the "Star and Planet Almanac 2004". For 2005 they started "their own almanac" using our evening star maps and many ideas without mentioning us, also without asking us for permission. After very much writing they accepted and paid some money for using the maps in 2005. Though for 2006 they didnot get permission to use our work, they again made a stargazers' almanac 2006 which looks like a (cheap) copy of our work. Their almanac 2006 and 2007 doesnot have our evening maps, but maps which look quite the same as our 12 midnight-maps at an enlarged scale.
Plagiarizing our star maps was so easily done. We did send that English publisher June 2002 a PDF-file of January-December 2003, because of they wanted to check the English language. They received 36 star maps: the 12 evening maps, the 12 midnight maps and the 12 morning maps. With these PDF-files you are able to change a little bit in e.g the layer of the sky colour, the layer of the horizon, the shape of the stars, with the effect "star maps which look different".
