Congratulations to Rick Stevenson for today's AAPOD

Congratulations Rick. Looks like we're both in favor with the AAPOD people at the moment.

[RickS]

Thanks, Steve. A couple of more unusual targets too!

[Saturnine]

I regularly check out AAPOD and am always impressed by the variety and quality of the images posted on there.
Good work and well done guys.

Thanks Jeff & Alex!

Meh, it’s ok.... :lol:

:thumbsup:

[RickS]

Thanks, Lewis. It was a very very dim target so a really flash image was out of the question :)

[lazjen]

Bit too far away for a flash, right? ;)

grats on the image, certainly worth it! :)

For those who would like Direct Access (http://www.aapodx2.com/2018/20180228.html) to the image...

Nice one Rick an intriguing and great shot :thumbsup:...:question:..maybe they will repeat it again some time in the future :P

I haven't sent'em an image for quite a while...maybe I should...:question:

Well done Rick. Don't forget to add it to your sig.

[LewisM]

I dunno, 70 hours is longer than my annual attention span.

Great Image Rick. Congratulations. You should shout yourself a 1600.

Cheers

Rob

[SimmoW]

Great processing on this one Rick, congrats!

[graham.hobart]

beautiful plumage!!
nicely done sir!:thumbsup:

[RickS]

Thanks, Chris.



Ta, Mike. I haven't seen a repeated AAPOD but you never know! They seem to get a lot of European images so the more from Aussies the merrier.



Thanks, Peter. I'm saving up for a tattoo ;)



That's why you need an automated system, Lewis!



Great idea, Rob :D



Thanks, Simon.



:lol: thanks, Graham.

[Stevec35]

Thanks Jeff. More people should submit images there and they like unusual stuff. Both of mine have been "off the beaten track" objects

[Stevec35]

I would think that would be an excellent idea

[Ryderscope]

Only just noticed this thread. Congratulations Rick.

:party2:

[peter_4059]

The tattoo is a nice touch. A bit like being in the Olympic team. Have you settled on a design - the NASA emblem would look cool.:thumbsup:

[RickS]

Thanks, Rodney.



I'm thinking more along the lines of the Australian Research and Space Exploration emblem, Peter :question:

[troypiggo]

Here’s a quick design I’ve knocked up for you to show the tattoo artist

[peter_4059]

In that case I wouldn't recommend your forehead. You'd be better off choosing a location with more room to showcase future accomplishments.

[RickS]

I was about to ask Troy if he could whip up a tramp stamp...

[troypiggo]

I just googled hairy butt images to do that. I don’t think I’ll ever do that again. I’m also a bit concerned about what ads might start showing up on my FB feed now too :(

[RickS]

I thought if you needed a hairy butt image you'd just use a selfie stick at 180 degrees?

[troypiggo]

Hahaha
