Ditto, thanks. (Not that it'll actually record anything without screwing up ... it's a Telstra T-Box, you see ... ).

Sounds like we should watch out for Dava Sobel, author and eclipse chaser,
in Cains this November.

Nice interview. Highly recommended for amateur astronomers.
For those who missed it -
http://www.abc.net.au/tv/firsttuesday/s3576835.htm

Her description of the awe that comes from witnessing a total solar eclipse
vividly articulates what it is like. (at 14:42)

Looking forward to her next book, with the working title "Half the Sky".

missed this post. Thoroughly enjoyed reading "The Planets" and "Longitude". Will have to look at the archive/recording online. Thanks for the post
