Hi Mojo,

I think you and Mike have created a monster. Have lots of fun putting it together. The final result will look great.

I'm locked in too. Looking forward to seeing that map...given the growing international contingent this could get very interesting!

On second thoughts, to make it easier please enter your lat/long in the following format:

Lat: -33.4
Long: 151.6

etc

That is, use decimal notation and use - sign for south, and no - sign for east.

You may find that some of them have been updated already.

Thanks

If everyone uses heavens-above to get the information, you'll get it in the right format.

I'll edit my original post in this thread.

I've just put my town in for the moment, but will update it to my observing site with a GPS fix next time I go out.

Ok. Mike,
The Lat and Lon for my home are now recorded in my profile. The reading comes from satalite images of my subdivision in which my house is quite visible so it should be accurate. But, you're gonna need a big map to plot me along with you folks there in Oz.

Mike are you automatically picking up changes to site long/lat. If not I've changed mine. Nambour was in danger of drowning as I'd put it a couple of 100 miles off the coast

awww. Paul changed his position. When I wrote the conversion routine I had to check to see if it was correct. It was. But then I was impressed that you live on a house-boat in the pacific. How boring... you're back on the green bit of the map.
