I have decided to put my planetary images N at top in future. After considerable
thought, I come to the conclusion that the old convention no longer makes sense
in an age of CCDs and observational equality between the hemispheres, and that
amateurs would do best to adopt the professional convention. It was noticeable
that nearly everyone imaging yesterday's eclipse put N at top - thus avoiding
upside down church steeples etc. !
