:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :scared3: :ashamed: :D

hehe we southerners gotta support spaceweather - they look after us :) theyve helped and enabled me observe a few enjoyable things over the years :) as well as giving a excellent daily window to current events around the globe - not to mention being kind enough to use our our pics sometimes.

No Way! is it the pick of the bunch to me!! there was dozens and dozens of all excellent ones! but a big thanks anyway :) I appreciate it
if you submit pics to spaceweather, dont be discouraged if they dont use them - we have had dozens we submitted that werent accepted/usable over the years. Usually coz we took to long to submit (film) and it was out of date. But we have between stew an i, we have two front (or three?) pages spaceweather (photos) i think 5 different events/images used in galleries at least? Nice to featured on ~15 000 hits a day site tho :D

Signed humbly .. SuperStar Kearn - i wont forget youse!!

[h0ughy]

I can hear your theme song now, "oh lord its hard to be humble when you're...............". I'll let you fill in the blanks.

I agree that to get a shot on there is something special. i don't think the yanks know we exist sometimes, and that maybe we have some spectacular sights as well!!

[fringe_dweller]

Hahaha - how did you know thats my theme song !!?? :)
Houghy we have got to keep reminding them (and the rest of the world) we exist ;)
Kearn

[h0ughy]

Very true! :D

Cheers

{It's hard being famous, ain't it!? *sigh*}

[fringe_dweller]

Kearn

[asimov]

Yeah, well....Didn't wanna be swamped with hanger-on's signing autograph's N stuff.....you know how it is..:rofl: I'm in total awe that they actually aired it really. I just up-loaded it to them as a joke, but then came that email from Melody! :eyepop: I should have sent her a conjunction shot sunday night. Gonna make her go 'OOooh!

[asimov]

:eyepop: OMG! Looks like I have to dig out the photo album with all my news paper clippings of me & my 1st telescope! :thumbsup:


Now I have the term "nice one Kearn :thumbsup: " copied into it's own folder so's I dont have to type it all the time!!

Good onya Kearn! :2thumbs:

[[1ponders]]

No doubt about it .... He's good:thumbsup:

[Greg Bryant]

You're on fire, Kearn! Well done.

We've been clouded (rained) out all week here in Sydney. That's what happens with rare events.

[asimov]

Is that taken with the cool-pics Kearn?

[fringe_dweller]

Wow! I am totally stunned!!, and speechless, and that is very unusual for me - as you all know! Thats my christmas/birthday present done for the year :)
Thanks again guys!! :) should of known i wouldnt get anything past the IIS gang!
LOL John! and both shots were both taken with the new Canon 350D mate - amazing camera! I find it a LOT simpler and intuitive to use than my two old Nikon point and shooters (which are still very classy- very nice lenses in them), but highly recommend the 350d if anyones looking to upgrade! The famous older 300D would be very close (specially if its just for the net only), I have seen them new for $1100 with the same kit lens I have - great value :)

Thanks! looks like its our turn Greg, weather report looks dicey for next weekend/monday and beyond for SA :( I heard on the news tonight parts of NSW got our entire years rainfall in one day today!!!!!!

Regards
Kearn

[Mick]
