If I remember correctly, when the idea was first touted back in the last millennium, the plan was to do something similar to the "Day in the Life of Brobdingnag" (e.g. http://www.ditlafrica.com/, except we're better than all those Magnum guys <g>), and it was gradually whittled down to "everybody press their button simultaneously". I think the first idea is still a good one, whereas the second is really rather too restrictive. The equinox this year is Thursday 22 September at 22:23 GMT (http://www.nmm.ac.uk/server/show/conWebDoc.3843). Since this is a work night I don't think we'd get much from the European PDMLers. I think most others would be at work. Really only the US Eastern time zone would find it an easy one if the brief was for everybody to click the shutter at the same time. Cheers, Bob
