I've enjoyed these. After they are done they put them as a podcast on iTunes under 'Astronomy Cast'. They don't have the video, but they do have the audio on the podcast. Nice to hear it in the car. It's one of the few things I find useful with Google+. Dan On Jun 27, 2012, at 12:55 PM, john@fxlight.com wrote:

MORE ASTRONOMERS NEEDED FOR THE VIRTUAL STAR PARTY
We're always looking for more astronomers to join our +Virtual Star Party [2]. If you've got the ability to view live images from your telescope on your computer, you're 99% of the way there.
Just contact me or +Scott Lewis [3], and we'll help you work out the technical details to stream your view right into a +Google+ [4] hangout. It's not that hard.
We'd love to see more people from other parts of the world, like Europe, South America, Africa, Asia and Australia - North Americans are welcome too. :-)
We hold the Virtual Star Party every Sunday night right here on Google+. In the summer we start at 9 pm Pacific / 12 am Eastern, when it gets dark on the West Coast.
We're glad to explain the gear, teach you how to do astronomy and astrophotography, and we'll even take requests - picking out objects if they're up in the sky right now.
Circle me, or the +Virtual Star Party [5] to see when we're streaming live. You can also subscribe to the Universe Today channel on YouTube to get an announcement: http://www.youtube.com/user/universetoday [6]
