Thanks guys,
I've been lurking in the background checking in from time to time. Work is very busy and running two jobs leaves precious little time for extra-curricular activities

Living in Auckland and building soon in Waiuku, complete with observatory

Had some good views of the comet and took some average photos. Not worth posting.
Sounds like you all had a good time at the AstroCamp. Oct 2008 could be good timing for my next trip across the Tasman.
Come visit in Auckland anytime!
Hope to find more time for IIS in the coming months. Keep prodding
