Say, Lumen, the idea of taking some pics is a good one. My wife suggested the like, particularly if something through a scope of the moon or Jupiter. I found an article on using a wedcam as a makeshift planetary camera in the 'Projects & Articles' section here. The kids here are very comfortable with computers, so this astro thing will have more tangible relevance to them. Also makes for a momento of the occasion.
The ISS has also being mentioned if it would be visible that night from Sydney. Can anyone point me to a site where I might be able to get this info?
This time of the evening is also good for spotting satellites, though this would be a difficult task for this age group & the poor skies of Sydney not helping.
