IIS no longer just Australian.

This Forum is amazing,
No longer can it be called just Australian.
We now have members from many countries around the World, the latest being Gilles from France.

Mike, You have done a fabulous job with this Forum but isn't it about time you changed the name, maybe to "The International Amateur Astronomy Community".
Just a thought.....WOW... IIS has gone Global.

Mike.

We've been international almost since inception.

There are all our members from the two east islands, y'know New Australia, And those representative of the home of our fore-fathers, yep New Australia again,....Oops I mean sunny ol' mother England. And don't forget our Belgin mate Keiken. And William from Honkers. And don't forget edosaurus_rex and hammerman from the US of A. Lots and lots of international flavour.

Our little damper here has lots of mixed fruits in it, now we get to add some truffles, that's all.

Check out the MAP Mind you I think some of our Aussie members are closet northerners, either that or there are a lot of people of no fixed address floating around in the northern pacific

All those guys of the coast of Japan have entered 'N' in their Latitude instead of 'S' in the degrees minutes entry, or left out the - symbol on their Decimal entry. That's all.

If you have a look you will see they are an Equator mirrored image of the East coast of Australia and Tassie!
