Gee this is trajic and totally unexpected news.
Erwin's images are amongst those that inspired me to get my off axis guider and experiment with nebula filters. When I saw the great work he was doing with a digital SLR I wanted to "get amongst it" too and see how far I could push my gear. So I have Erwin to thank for much of my work with his fantastic, inspiring images, they are among the best ever taken with a digital SLR and rival some taken with much more expensive astro , cooled CCD imagers. We can only imagine the great images he would have taken just in the next few years. We must treasure the great images he has taken, and I expect that they will continue to inspire up and coming astrophotographers in the way they have inspired me.
Thanks Erwin
Regards Scott
