Subject: Re: Request to Use Image for Online Course Taught by David Spergel

We have forwarded your request to the author and as far as Astromart goes credit for where you got it is payment enough - the author will need to give you his approval also

Thank you

Hello,
I am writing to you on behalf of Professor David edit, a faculty member at Princeton University, who would like to use your image from: http://www.astromart.com/articles/article.asp?article_id=229 for an online course.
Professor Spergel would like to use this image in an open online course titled “Imagining Other Earths.” The course will be distributed free of charge on the Worldwide Web via the Coursera platform:https://www.coursera.org/course/otherearths. The image will appear in the recording of the classroom lecture. It will not be distributed separately from the video recording. The professor's videotaped lecture may be available to enrolled students as a downloadable video file. However, slide presentations with third party content are not downloadable. Princeton University’s courses on the Coursera platform are offered free of charge.
Would you grant us permission to use your image for the course? We would of course caption the image with whatever credit line you specify. If you do not hold the rights, do you have the contact information for the person or group that can grant these rights?
With thanks for your consideration,
Danielle edit

Hello Danielle

I am aware of Professor Spergel’s outstanding work and am glad to grant permission for him to use this image at no cost; please specify “Image courtesy of Joe edit, College of DuPage” as I created this image for my book “A Field Guide to Double Star Observing” some years ago.
