(Is it really 37 degrees out there now?)

Hi gb,

Thanks for the comparison with Stellarium.
I would have thought most of these programs would have agreed with one another. Anyway it is good that there will be the possibility of imaging two moons simultaneously transiting Saturn.

Yesterday it was 42C in Broken Hill, today is predicted to reach 45C. According to our local ABC radio this will be our 12th straight day over 40C. Not sure how correct they are, I thought we were up to 18 straight over 40c days.

We are supposed to get a cool change Sunday down to 39C and next week it is supposed to get back to the high 20's.

Regards
Trevor
