G'day Gus. Not much happening at the moment. If you want to keep up with this sort of information I would strongly advise you to get onto a copy of Astronomy 2008 by Ken Wallace, Glen Dawes and Peter Northfield. It's from Quasar Publishing (ISBN 0 9756070 3 0) and should be easy to obtain in any good bookstore eg. Dymocks at a cost of about 23 -25 bucks. Can't recommend this book highly enough as it lists meteor showers, planetary rise and set times, moon phases, monthly sky views, star maps and much, much more. It really is invaluable to the casual or serious amateur astronomer and it's aimed squarely at the Southern hemisphere and Australian skies in particular. I really don't think that there is a better book available, although I stand open to correction on this point by more experienced forum members.
If you have trouble finding it, you can e-mail Quasar at

If you still have problems, just put another post on the forum and I'm sure someone will help you out. (Or send me a personal message and I'll see what I can do.) All the best!
