hi mark
For what it's worth here are the results of a quick just-in-time lesson on
how to set the ISO/aperture on a Canon 450D camera in Singapore.
I'd always wanted to know what those numbers were for and you guys forced me to learn - thanks..there are three ISO settings below.
I was in the pool with the kids this evening and they pointed out the full
moon. What an observant bunch Echalk are to also spot it.

This list is awesome! Thanks Ken. If anybody is curious and outside
comparing these lunar photographs as I am, have a look out for the last
flyover for the Endeavour space shuttle. Details below.

http://spaceweather.com Endeavour has left the planet. The space shuttle lifted off this morning at
8:56 am EDT on a two week mission to the International Space Station. There
it will deliver the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer--a $1.5 billion cosmic ray
detector that could reveal the nature of dark matter and find whole galaxies
made of antimatter. Links to more information are available at
http://spaceweather.com.
This is Endeavour's final flight as the shuttle program winds down. During
the mission, Endeavour will make numerous passes over North America,
Australia, and other places. Would you like to see it one last time? You can
turn your cell phone into a field tested shuttle tracker by downloading our
Simple Flybys app. Details

My kids wondered what students would see or imagine of left and right sides
when they are near the equator.

Hi Mark
Since we are living upside down relative to the northern hemisphere the
Moon appears upside down from what it does in Europe. The chief effect of this is that we see the lunar phases on different sides eg in Europe the
crescent after new moon is on the right, in Aus it is on the left, something
I still find really confusing!
