Mission Control - Aotearoa
image by " rel="nofollow Paul Moss, Wellington, New Zealand
This image from my " rel="nofollow Facebook friend " rel="nofollow Paul Moss caught my attention as being a very cool setup for International Observe the Moon Night (InOMN) in New Zealand (Aotearoa).
Paul wrote: "This is the re-streaming facility that I set up for InOMN, to share various webcasts back to other networks.

The InOMN here in New Zealand was hampered by a large storm the size of Australia lashing the country. However events like Paul Moss's and also the "Levin Stargazers" run by " rel="nofollow Mike White of Levin, NZ, were very " rel="nofollow successful events. I also was able to " rel="nofollow image the Moon on the InOMN in a small ten minute gap in the weather.
