Saw the repeat of the Sunrise interview this morning while I was getting ready for work. Well done mate - you've achieved something that very few people will ever do. You must be stoked.

That's awesome Mike. Certainly a first in my time involved in amateur astronomy. Although this really shows your work is certainly "professional" Well done mate !
Mike, that's just fantastic, congratulations! I have been away from IIS for a while (been busy moving house) and it was great to come back and then see this.
Just watched your live interview and it was brilliant and very entertaining. Well done!
Just read this Mike - awesome stuff - pumped for you & the team.

Cheers Matt Rolf and Ian it's been and is continuing to be a ride, the paper was published in the Oxford Journals yesterday, a bit earlier than the team expected Subaru should do a press release soon too.
I have posted this up in the shop window for all to see Mike.
This is inspiring for many a budding Astrophotographer !
Ha ha, great stuff Ian ....hope business is booming in Cairns
BTW, I had the beeeest Seafood Linguini at the Boat Shed (had a plate for two, all to myself ) on the waterfront there.
What a stunning discovery, congratulations on bagging this object Strongmanmike! You are indeed one of the exalted. I've just seen this, and must go and find your interview.

Thanks so much guys I'm still getting contacted from all over the World over this, even people in the street have recognised me here in Canberra I hate to think what it would be like if it was truly something ground breaking!
Mike this IS ground breaking imho.
You deserve all the recognition and accolades for this, you have done what very few have done and you have done it in the hobby you are passionate about. Using your own vast imaging skills, your dedication, your own time your own funding. There is rarely a monetary reward so enjoy.
I and no doubt all at IIS are very proud of your accomplishment.
Sh#@ I even got to say to my grandkids when watching you with Kochie, I know him, I know him - you that is not Kochie!

Ah ha ha, thanks Peter , it has been lots of fun I guess I was drinking in the pub in our building a couple of weeks ago now and this random woman came up to me and said "my friends and I were just wondering...are you the galaxy man?" I laughed and said, well I guess I am
hic! tried it on the P&O Aria last month (surprisingly) and it was sensational
