It is 40 years this weekend since the inaugural visual observer meeting at Aston University, and the visit to the Hewitt Camera site at Sheriffs Lench on the Sunday. The camera site is still there but now quite desolate and abandoned. The camera remains in Dome C at the old Herstmonceux location, and the Siding Spring one now has a new lease of life with an astronomy society in Tamworth NSW.



There are still a few of the people pictured, who are on the list.  It was taken by Graham Swinerd of the Aston unit, and reproduced in Desmond King-Hele's book, 'A tapestry of orbits'.



Regards to all - Max
