William. To "work out" the UT(C) or GMT times, just add 10 hours to get AEST, Aust East Std Time.
Here is a site that is shows current to UTC or GMT. I use it to set my camera times to exact AEST.

(Note that in London now they are 1 hour ahead of GMT as they have daylight saving.)
Am. (Should be Pm?)

Weather is looking good so far!!!

It's worth having a look now if your interested in something that wont happen for another 105yrs : http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap120605.html
Very nice, as is that shot by axle01.
I am beavering away between scudding clouds, as in:
"I love a rain-soaked Sydney,
A land of scudding clouds,
Of sudden heavy downpours,
Of wind and constant..."
Well, that sort of thing.
Tell ya what though: I'm really liking this Baader film as a filter.
For now, m.
well i finally got a snap.. looks a bit blueish and bright but hopefully i can change some things and fix it up!!
