    Alastair, looks like a very good book.

          I might add that as the title and author of the book are displayed on the page it means you can check to see if the book is available on the Internet Archive and if so you can download the book from them.

                Talking of 'Northern Lights', if tonight in north America, you have a clear evening sky, then you might well see AURORA's.

                Here in most of Scotland we have cloud cover, so that's put paid for your chances .....

                Don't forget this Friday there should be an eclipse by the moon, of the sun.

                In Scotland the time factor is reckoned to be 08.00 to about 10.30

                Sorry for interrupting the thread ........
