Thanks Rob for the info will try and have a go at it when these clouds(has been cloudy all week
)clear up.
Yes it is pretty dark up here in the southern highlands but when i look to the north east i can see the glow of sydney lights ,so glad to live in a dark location.
If your too lazy to write why not tape record your obs and then post them up here,the next day.just a suggestion.
clear skies to all observers,
