Very kind Greg.

I took a hint from Steven Mohr when we met for the first time at Greenwich last year....

Steve struck me as very unassuming, but is really focused, uses multi-year data, has a seriously dark-sky robotic site in Victoria,
and rarely uses data more than 20 degrees or so below transit.

He (deservedly) *won* the Royal Observatory Greenwich APOTY 2018 galaxy prize, and I could only look on and think, bugger me...now that is serious dedication to imaging!!

BTW the recognition he subsequently got back in Oz, I think was frankly piss-weak.

Suffice to say, I took notes! I'm not at that level of dedication just yet, but now know what it takes (this image is perhaps a small example)
to break new ground.
