Hi Meredith, 
    I have a couple of square feet of 1/32 thick mu-metal. Tell me how much 
you need to shield your seismometer's magnets and I'll cut off a piece and 
send it to you. It will be interesting to see what shielding it can do. I'll 
need your postal mailing address though.

for in your email address?  Your full name?  Any web site? 
Curiosity of course.>>
    AAVSO stands for American Association of Variable Star Observers. AAVSO 
has a solar division that publishes a monthly Solar Bulletin. The current May 
issue of the Bulletin has a recording of the big magnetic storm of 24 May. It 
was made with a homemade torsion-pendulum magnetometer. There are also 
complete instructions how to build a flux gate magnetometer for a little over 
$50. These include the schematic, a circuit board layout, parts list and two 
pages describing how the flux gate works. If you, or anyone else, would like 
a copy, just send me a self addressed envelope at my address below and I'll 
be glad to send a copy.
