It was a pleasure to host you, Ian.

We did have fun John. As Ian says we weren't particularly scientific in our approach. It was more like 2 kids having a good time with all their Xmas goodies, zipping around the sky looking at "stuff".

"Quick....have a look at this with this eyepiece" and "Wow! You've really got to check this out with this filter in at this magnification".

I've really got to get a Neodymium filter. If anyone has one they want to sell, let me know.

The highlight of the night for me was undoubtedly having a close look at Ian's stringscope. Impressive bit of home-made gear.

Thanks for the visit Ian. Good that the Canberra IIS boys can have a get together like some of our friends in other parts of the country.

And have a look at us... dressed for the Arctic conditions here in Canberra!!!!!!!!!!! It was beanies at 50 paces.

Hope we can do it again soon

Here's a quick Registax of the first avi of the night.
