Thanks Peter, as always there is an element of serendipity and luck whenever astro images are chosen by others. I must say I am pleased and surprised by this outcome! :)

Unfortunately the Guardian didn't include Ted's picture (bloody POMS :rofl:)

[Paul Haese]

That is because Ted's imae won in a section in the first year. Those images are from this year.

Santa arrived a little early at our place, seen to be wearing a fluro vest and driving an Australia post courier van.

I dutifully signed for a padded envelope from the UK. Thinking what the heck is this?

It contained a complimentary copy of 'astronomy photographer of the year' ! :)

Harper Collins did a great job. Forwarded by the late Sir Patrick. The print quality is excellent.

Yes finally got mine yesterday. It was sent on the 11/11/12. I am now expecting the replacement copy too. Quality as you say Peter is very high. Nice book.

[Peter Ward]

It was interesting to thumb through the pages and see so many Aussie images. Certainly a book I would have otherwise purchased :thumbsup:
