Had a pretty good night last night, and saw a few of you in there watching and chatting Thanks for being there. Tonight looks to be just as good so I should be on from about 10pm my time, 11:00:00 UTC, 11 am GMT. Screen grabs from last night are in the 'Astrovideo Images' section

Broadcast to a school in England..........I must have missed that bit. Way to go Ken. Was Ms Cosmogeek a teacher? I might just say that if anyone is aware that a school is monitoring the broadcast, that they put a note at the top so folks are warned to behave themselves and watch the language.

Yes Allan, Mister Cosmogeek is a High School Science teacher and he was showing my broadcast to his class. I showed them around the Southern Hemisphere and objects in Orion for about half an hour with commentary. Me sounding like Paul Hogan to them I know what you mean Allan about a warning to watch what you say but we are supposed to anyway. I have had others schools and even an Orphanage, and an Astronomy class at a University in USA watching and didn't know until they were leaving, when they were saying goodbye, thank you from Mr. so and so's class from such and such school. But anyway, here are some Screen Grabs from last night including an animation marking the Galaxies in Virgo using a comparison from Cartes du Ciel starmaps. First three: * M83 - Southern Pinwheel Galaxy * Omega Centauri Globular Cluster (largest in the whole sky) * Tarantula Nebula and surrounds in the Large Magellanic Cloud
