Thanks Iceman!
I see you're in Gosford which I'm sorry to say is place I've missed out on because every time I do the run between Brisbane and Sydney, in either direction, I seem to get diverted to the Hunter Valley for obvious reasons
But desperately trying to get back on topic, I had a memorable evening in Cessnock where ABC were showing "The Planets" which was a BBC (UK) production, the soundtrack of which was picked up on my mini-DV camcorder's shots of Jupiter and Saturn themselves. I had no 'scope in those days - this would have been Feb 2000 - but was surprised to find that the 20x optical and 400x digital zoom on my camcorder would show, at 120x, Jupiter as a definte disc with some details on it and Saturn as very defintely oval.
But how times change!
Clear skies,
Paul,
