Hope you guys don't mind but it's not everyday that we pretty picture takers actually get involved in real science and mix it with International professional astronomers and observatories, so when it happnes it is pretty cool
That now notorious (infamous even
) Deep Centaurus A shot I captured last year has shared centre stage with Hubble, ESO, ATNF etc at the International "Many Faces of Centaurus A" confernece in Sydney last week.

It's not much but all those long hours at the scope and trials and tribulations can pay off at times
oh and I didn't take the photos either, the conference organiser did, the flash glare all but obscures the poster
Thanks for listening....and just humour me
