Looks like Sydney is going to be clouded out for a change........

Not only that, but that is Thursday morning (18:30 10/06/2009 + 10:00 = 28:30 10/06/2009 = 04:30 11/06/2009).
That little mudmap on the website seems to indicate that it is going to hit very close to the limb... Even if it is very bright, it might be very difficult to observe (that is even if I could get up that early in the morning
).
I'll check when I get home, but it seems to be further east than a set of craters I identified in some images I took last night and posted on another thread
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=45965. Brisbane is very close to the limb:
Brisbane E - 50.0° S, 71.2° E
Brisbane H - 50.3° S, 64.9° E
Brisbane X - 50.4° S, 67.4° E
Brisbane Y - 51.4° S, 69.8° E
Brisbane Z - 52.8° S, 72.4° E
and the info states that the impact will be almost 10 degrees further east. I'm beginning to think that it might not be visible at all.
Hmmm
