Just thought I'd share this with all my IIS imaging buddies
When I logged on tonight I was surprised to discovered that the total page hits for my website had just pased 500 000 yesterday, currently standing at 500 584 total hits (since 26 Jan 2006). Don't know if that's a lot relatively (and don't care really) but it was cool to see the image hit counter at over 1/2 Million

. To me that's a lot of views so it's great to think that so many have enjoyed the pretty pictures
It's interesting to see which have been the most popular images during this time. The three most viewed individual astronomical images of the 565 images on display, so far have been:
1) The Eye of God with 4864 hits

2) Ultra Deep Centaurus A with 3025 hits

3) The Hand of God with 3024 hits

and interestingly...this image has even had 2171 hits

No ulterior motive here and no big deal, I don't think it is better than anyone else or anything (I am sure there are more impressive stats and sites out there), I just thought I'd share this little and personally cool milestone with those that I have shared all these images and all my fun (mostly

) with over all this time
Now here's hoping that I can get out and image again soon...
