I'm sure you've got them well trained Mike.
I'm thinking IIS business cards would be the go. I'm tired of writing out the website addy on bits of paper.

Congratulations and thanks to everyone who captured images of this event. I am enjoying looking at your work.

I know you are all a bit disappointed about the partial cloud cover, but from an artistic view point the pictures look great. If you tried to plan these conditions you could wait for years to make it all come together at your location.

Hey Geoff

There is one (available in the files section), but it's quite old now.

Time to get a new one done I think! Will be better prepared for next June's eclipse!

The IIS guys had a great time sharing views with the public.
Many OOH!s and AHH!s.
And I think we made a few new recruits.

And if that wasn't enough, Rick then turned his scope to Jupiter and wowed 'em again.

Great night!
great stuff Allan

nice pics guys

Some of the clearer shots from my old point 'n shoot camera - attached to a Gorillapod - also from Mt Coot-tha, Brisbane: http://www.flickr.com/photos/protiot.../12/24/detail/

My personal favourite is the 5s over-exposure of the moon, Orion and the Hubble Space Telescope.

Coolies Dave.
