Oh and Peter, Congratulations on your Category Win, but it seems a bit churlish to slap down 15 y/o Logan for sharing his honest opinion

Maybe I was terse, but I make no apologies for my response to Logan. It seems manners are poorly taught these days.

As for plagiarism, where do you begin? As an example, the starless nebulae
technique was first used about 12 years ago...but recent software tools have made it very easy to do and quite popular.

I suspect I was the first to use the 360 degree panorama time-exposure technique (also 12 years ago) by remapping a circular fisheye image to a rectilinear one. Won me a Malin innovation prize. When it subsequently became an APOD, people improved on the method and 360 panoramas are now hugely popular.

That said, we are all influenced by the work of others, but that debate is best held elsewhere.
