Hi Tom
I worked at the Dickson Tradies Club at the Canberra Observatory then, I was then aged 20 and showed thousands of people the New Star in the sky that wasn't there the night before, it was a magical time and wowed people more than Halleys Comet really - the object that had sparked the Tradies to invest in the Public Observatory 2 years earlier.
Great photo you have there and a cool memory of a truly unique object in the sky!
Mike
