I was truely shocked when I read this thread, was totally not what I expected. I meant to leave a message a while ago but couldnt think of anything to write. It really is terrible news. I never knew Erwin, never spoke to or met him, but had a quiet respect for both him and the awesome images he shared with us on the forum. The image scale and quality of his planetry images were always awe inspiring.
My sympathy to his family and friends. He is lucky in one way, though, as a lot of people go through life without really leaving much behind as a memento. Erwin on the other hand has left us with some simply stunning images to help remember him by. Goodbye Erwin!
