There's something ...I <B>like</B> the mobile phone images. There's something undefinably endering about them. Fantastci that you got to see the occulatation. The first decent planetary occulation I saw was Jupiter, and that was awesome, Saturn would be so much better, and I can't wait to get one doen here.

A surprise since I was completely off guard. I think I'll stroll through SPA via you link to see if there are more reports. <BR/>Similarly, I take for granted when showing the Sun that folks will immediately recognize that the whole disk _is_ the sun.<BR/>peterTaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04216667848454611981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14895585.post-79787004644122957712007-05-23T15:47:00.000+01:002007-05-23T15:47:00.000+01:00Heh.
