Thanks very much to all for your replies to my news.

The work of amateur astronomers is becoming ever more important, especially in the field of Planetary Science. Many amateurs contributed image data that was used in this paper. The "Supplementary Information" file also includes a table with every amateur listed who contributed image data used in the paper. Within the paper itself, in every instance where a image is used in a figure, acknowledgement of that particular imager is given.

It is very satisfying to see professionals acknowledge the effort of amateurs in this way especially in such a prestigious journal as Nature Astronomy.
