Hi Domenico,

Thanks for this, I'll have a go at it this weekend. Since its winter down here 
its dark when I leave or arrive home to/from work so I wont see the Sun until then.

I'd like to do a little radio astronomy and I've actually been listening to 
Juptier on 20.1Mhz with SkyPipe so anymore info greatly appreciated.

regards

Tim
