Thanks Colin. I am glad to have this window. Just threw the air conditioner out of it last week.

Pretty well impossible from Melbourne.

Are you sure about the time?

I calculate the image was around UTC 16:00, which would be around 02:00 am.
Thanks Paul. The time might be a bit early as that was session start and I didn't use all the subs. But 16:00 is too late as the altitude is too high for the window. Session end would probably be around 15:40 UT.
