Thanks very much to you all for your most positive comments. I must apologize, I posted a thread with the ESO VLT images on the Solar System Imaging forum before I noticed this thread on the Chat forum.

It bodes well for all of our amateur astro imagers when amateur data is used by the professionals, they are becoming ever more aware of what we can offer which I am sure will lead to many more pro/am collaborations.
