MICA from Willmann Bell is also very good for tabular data. Have a look at http://www.willbell.com/almanacs/almanac_mica.htm

No problem. Cannot speak high enough about this particular publication... no amateur should be without a copy, no matter how advanced.

Along the roads leading to Siding Spring are a set of planet billboards at 1/38000000 scale distances. They have models of the planets on them and some history. I have a set of photos I took on Saturday, except Pluto which I couldn't find at either Dubbo or Tamworth. But then it isn't a planet anymore.

Yell if you want a copy.
