Russell,
Thank you very much for all that info. It is a great help.
Yes, I am in far East Gippsland, about 4hrs drive from Melbourne. There seems to be very few active astronomical groups out here. We do go to Melbourne quite often, we stay in Langwarrin where the son lives. Problem with attending the MPAS site is that we don't get to Melbourne until at least 9.30 on a Friday night. After a 5am start all one wants to do is slow down for the day. And the public nights don't always correspond to our trips to Melbourne, these are normally dictated by my work for Monday morning meetings. I am trying to convince my wife that we need to go to the Snake Valley weekend.
As for the imaging I am also about to re-read the planetary imaging and image processing guide that Mike Salway has on the projects & articles section of the forum.
Thanks again for all of the info, I look forward to further informative posts like this has been.
Cheers
Andrew
