Thanks Geoff. Recorder set. :thumbsup:

Ditto, thanks. (Not that it'll actually record anything without screwing up ... it's a Telstra T-Box, you see ... :( ).

Sounds like we should watch out for Dava Sobel, author and eclipse chaser,
in Cains this November.

Nice interview. Highly recommended for amateur astronomers.
For those who missed it -

Her description of the awe that comes from witnessing a total solar eclipse
vividly articulates what it is like. (at 14:42)

Looking forward to her next book, with the working title "Half the Sky".
