Thanks again guys, the response has been overwhelming.. lots of unsolicited emails from people, some genuine and some very cooky
When I look at the stats for the site, it goes to show the incredible influence that APOD has! Over 3 times more visitors in the day that my image was featured on APOD! Just incredible.
I'm very humbled by the positive response to my image/animation, and very proud that it was achieved on what can be considered very modest equipment (these days).
Thanks!
