Sorry, it was pretty much an "ad lib" presentation (albeit with about 50 Keynote slides (I use a Mac) to jog my memory)..I didn't have notes....and I don't think they'd make much sense without me jabbering away...and waving a weapon of mass-murder, (as one ex-NSW Premier put it) aka laser pointer

That said, there was similar interest from the Sydney City Sky-watchers group, with the likely result being a blog from yours truly appearing on a web page soon...

P.S.
Provided you keep the noise sky limited, doubling exposure time, doubles the signal, but only increases the noise by the square root of 2, ie about 1.4..

P.P.S
Despite use of a reasonably bright laser pointer, no audience members were blinded, fires started or heavy-jets downed...
