Hi Glenn,
Long time, no see :-)
We now have a public internet system with 2 telescope available for everyone. The Wheaton Project is only for a university in the USA and for students and faculty only. Our public service is a fraction of the cost of some of the commerical ones out there. Check it out at:
www.gco.org.au/skylive/
You will find a lot of Australians on there (there is a live chat box with live previews comming from the telescopes) but be prepared for some Italian only speaking users, as the Skylive service is in Italy. They have 4 telescopes there and 2 at Grove Creek (12" LX-200 and 14" C14) - with more to come as we get more members. It is only 100 euros/year for unlimited shared use. Good value.
Steven.
