"The Small Astral Object Genius", James Van Pelt
SS ASFM (Asimov’s Science Fiction) OCT/NOV 2006 - science fiction
Can a Peek-a-boo, a small plastic device using AA batteries, take a photograph light years away and return instantaneously? Young obsessive teenage boy Dustin sends his Peek-a-boo out over and over again to take pictures of the stars, hoping to contribute to man's knowledge of the universe. Meanwhile his parents are heading towards a divorce.
A good forward-looking science fiction story set in the near future with well-drawn characters.

Hi, Amy. Thanks for the kind words about the story. I have another one at Asimov's that should see print in a couple of months.
You're quite welcome. I enjoyed the story. I'll look out for your next story in Asimov's.
