Thanks again for your encouraging feedback, gentlemen! The dark skies are a definite bonus - I don't reckon I could live in light polluted skies again. I'm looking forward to the Little Desert and VicSouth next weekend, in spite of stinking heat.
Paul, it's a Sanyo M1110C walkman style thing. It uses an ordinary cassette and has voice activated recording. I've actually had it for years and forgotten it until the recent thread in which Les and others talked about a dictaphone. Only thing with the voice activation is that I have to remember to start talking a bit before I say anything that I want recorded, otherwise the first bit gets lost as it starts up, so I get "....laxy in Cetus". Reminds me of the voice announcements that they had at Central station in the 1980s "the next train goes to mu plains" having cut off the e. Anyway, I just have to remember to say "starting up again" before I get down to business.
