Also congrats to HevelSky (guillaume) who made the cut as well!

Well done on another achievement!

[Dennis]

Thanks Mike. It’s interesting to see how the site rotates my images 180 degrees to orientate them for the N hemisphere view. Seems they didn't pay heed to H0ughy's Southern Hemisphere admonishment!

Congrats too to Guillaume.

Cheers

Dennis

Dr Phillips,

I ranted and raved about the plight of us poor Aussies in an email some time ago, and now you have done it again!! You flipped another image just to suit the northern hemisphere!! All that we are asking that the submitted images from the Southern Hemisphere stay in that orientation! What are you going to do if a wide field shot comes in with the moon and planets and Orion and Pleiades "look" upside down to you, flip that image!! Come on mate fair go!

At the rate you, Mike and others are going it won't be long before Spaceweather has IIS images on it's front page everyday. :cool:

Hi David,

Dennis's image has been flipped to match the orientation of SOHO images. This minimizes confusion for my readers who see SOHO pictures of the sun every day. Northern vs. southern hemisphere has nothing to do with it.

I promise, any other images I receive of moon and stars will not be gratuitously flipped!

Regards, Tony

haha well he is correct.. back to your dogbox mr h0ughy? ;)

When the H0ugh speaks - the World stops and listens.;)

Cheers

[spacezebra]

Whoaaa - even Im getting nervous about sending Houghy an email:sadeyes:.

Cheers Petra

[h0ughy]

Then cracks up laughing because they heard another fool!:rofl: :rofl: :D :P :help:

but that doesn't detract from those excellent images you continue to get posted Big D!

[xelasnave]

I get tired of explaining why I post photos of Orion upside down on a forum in the North:) .
Congratulations on having your work published Dennis, :thumbsup:
Mr Houghy I need a letter of demand to recover a debt...could you draft a suitable letter as I feel the money would come by return mail if you had input:) .
Good on you it is one thing to grizzle about a situation but quiet another to take action to right a wrong.:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[h0ughy]

But your soft tones soothe the beast, just ask the unbeliever:lol: :lol:

I just don't like it when things get abused and taken for granted, oh but then I am married:P :help: so I must be a hypocrite :D ;)

But me thinks IIS has some impact, because the Dr replied so quickly, we do contribute a fair bit to thier site:)

[h0ughy]

Thenks Alex:thumbsup: , but its Dennis I was originally worried about, cause he would have to start taking images on his head to orient them the "correct" way!! As for debt collecting, not my cup of tea!;) :D

[Dennis]

I nominate H0ughy for the IIS Union Rep, for affirmative action against those who abuse image orientation etiquette for the Southern Hemisphere.

Who would like to second the nomination?

No salary or perks, just a nice, warm glow when you retire every evening, knowing that you are the sole guardian, champion, protector and mouth piece for hemi spherically challenged Southern Imagers.

Cheers

Dennis

H0ughy, where were you when I opened that can of worms over whether there should be a standardized Jupiter orientation on the site.


I'M NOT REOPENING THAT HERE! GO FIND THE THREAD IF YOU WANT TO HAVE YOUR SAY :scared3:

[h0ughy]

But Paul, you should be able to predict that answer now , shouldn't you! and I will find that thread somewhere?:lol: :rofl: :whistle:

[h0ughy]

warm and fuzzy feeling, is that like when you are at the beach and you........;)
