Dear Pierantonio,

thank you very much for the permission.

I know that, I'll include such more detailed info in the commentary on the
map on our www pages.

The present citation in the leaflet (an exact translation of the Czech
text) is

 Fig. at the title page:
 P.\,Cinzano, F.\,Falchi (University in Padova), C.\,D.\,Elvidge
 (NOAA National Geophysical Data Center, Boulder),
 Monthly Notices of Royal Astronomical Society, 2000,
 \copyright{RAS}

I meant, that I should perhaps add that it is reproduced with permission
of Blackwell Science, as given in your guidelines, it's just a bit long,
for the leaflet. The Institute is not mentioned directly, just the
www.lightpollution.it/dmsp address given at the front side in figure
caption. Should I include a \copyright{} Instituto di... in the above
text?

> Please send us some copies of it.

I will send a printed Czech version, when it will be made. Presently,
we just ``laserjet600dpi'' the necessary copies, the quality is tolerable.

if my layout will pass some Czech reviews (nobody did it yet), I'll make a
better English translation (and a German one) with enough comments in the
LaTeX source, so a similar leaflet could be used elsewhere (with proper
maps). The working version will probably remain in
