(I'm posting this for a friend who doesn't have net access.)

My friend is trying to locate an organization which he's heard about that's
in the business of, for a fee, naming a star for you.  (The organization
might be on the west coast.)  He's contacted a few of the local
astronomical societies, and they know of this organization, but they
disagree with the whole idea, so they won't provide a pointer to the
organization.  (My friend is well aware this "naming a star" bit is
pretty hokey, but he's interested in doing this as a romantic gesture.)

Any pointers would be appreciated.  Please mail to me directly, as I don't 
usually follow this newsgroup.

Thanks 1 x 10**6 for any help...
