Hi Vermin,
Try
http://www.2fdesign.co.nz/astronomy/starmate.htm if the
www.star-mate.com website is not working. I had problems with it yesterday, but it should be right now.
Great report Mike.. Shame about the kiwi fulla polluting a few of your photos
..
I got home 3am on Tuesday morning, then found out yesterday that I have to go to Perth for work today (Wed).. So I have been running around like a mad man trying to get everything sorted for that. Consequently I have not had a chance to write up my Aus visit. In the weekend hopefully!..
Cheers
