I look forward to watching it tomorrow in full.
Will anyone be recording it so others may view?

I managed to watch the 11:00am CH10 News this morning, 12th Dec, and the “Mike & Noel” show that was broadcast last night in the Brisbane CH10 5:00pm News was almost the same as this mornings broadcast. Just as good 2nd time 'round! Everyone will be talking about our intrepid SETI explorers for days to come!

Cheers

Dennis

Here are some more screen captures from this mornings broadcast, along with some quotes from the bulletin:

“A group of Queensland men are searching the skies for evidence of extra-terrestrial beings…”

“Listening for deep space transmissions…”

“In the New Year, this tiny Galactic listening post will operate 24 hours a day…”

“The truth is waiting to be uncovered…”


Cheers

Dennis

Thanks everyone,
Does my hair really look like that from the side !!!!!!

I'm glad it got to go National.
So, who noticed "Starry Night Pro" on the lap top screen then.
The Cameraman was fascinated by it.
It was a bit hard to look at the stars with sunlight pouring through the dome door.
I have a video of the Tuesday lunchtime airing, but will try and get a real one from Channel Ten.

At the moment, we are not open for public visits, you can guess why, Insurance cover... Well it is a construction site.
Saying that, We would be glad to have star watching evening maybe even a whole weekend, our facilities are very limited though with only 2 flushing toilets and 1 shower, plenty of power and water though.
Camping would be the only real option.

The Eastern boundry of the site has very tall gum trees and blocks observing for at least 3 hours after any object rises. But we have about 130 degrees of sky South to North.


It would be prudent to wait until after Lostock though, and maybe some cooler weather.

Thanks Dennis, for your hi tech gizmo's and getting the frames posted.
I'm not really the "telescope operator", more like "Head Slave"

Mike
