Congrats Pete. I think that set of images from Uluru will serve you well for quite some time.

That looks great Peter!!! :thumbsup:

[Peter Ward]

Thanks Guys....NASA gave me the heads-up yesterday.:D

It's been a bitter-sweet week, as RGO also said they couldn't progress my shortlisted entries due time limits on data (but I suspect this will change next year, as I pointed them to the attached Hubble image which took 4 years to acquire)...however...they are using some of my solar images for a display at the RGO Greenwich at present.

well done peter

[Peter Ward]

A truly heart felt thanks to those that have responded to Mike's post.

Just some background, this is not infact the same image I submitted to the CWAS/Main comp. David has an incredibly keen eye and noted a couple of flaws in that image.

sooo... I went back to the RAW data, and actually read the manual of the stitching software, discovered its limitations, worked around them and did a "Sid" to get literally a seamless result.

APOD's are quirky to be sure. But a tip 'o the hat from none other than NASA is always very cool :)

Congratulations Peter, it is always good to see an image by an Aussie and iceinspacer to boot:thumbsup:

[Octane]

Peter,

Wow, congratulations! That's got to be some kind of record, right? Two in such a short space of time (regardless of the first being a repeat!)
