Just watching our channel 7 4:30 news, we get it from SA, very nice piece Anthony. Your scope and setup looked great, deserved a considerably longer segment.

Regards
Trevor

Just read it ... An now listening to the CNN interview.

My old man, sent me an SMS today, saying "Big telescope on page 7".
Haha.
I could tell by the drool factor of the SMS, that he wanted one, like Veruca Salt ("Daddy, I want it NOW").

He was the one that got me my first scope, so it seems the Xmas pressie this year to him, will be a scope.....
What goes around, comes around.

Great media coverage Anthony.
I like the reply to the CNN host, "What would it sound like?" question....

EDIT:

Anthony, are you on Facebook? You should be.
You'll have about a few million friends in one day and maybe crash their servers with all the requests for friends...Hahaha

Congratulations Anthony.
I've just seen your segment on our Adelaide Ch7 6pm bulletin.
I would like to echo the sentiments in this thread so far.
Well spotted! Well deserved and handled like a true gentleman!

regards,
Steve B.

Ditto with the (small) segment on local Tassie TV, came on just as I was telling HRH how disappointed I was that the media weren't covering such a great story.

You're kidding, right?

I suspect you're referring to your 'local' media?
