Hi All!

Just landed in Melbourne today. Thanks for the kind words and complements - they are much appreciated.

It has been a surreal and humbling experience to meet and talk with all the astronauts, cosmonauts and leading scientists.

The two nights at the observatory in La Palma were like a space flight for me. I spent an hour at the GTC telescope observing the targets (ARP84 and UGC9103 interacting galaxies) and then stayed for the whole night watching the astronomer at work and taking images around the telescope.

I'll do an update when I have digested it all and gone through the images.

Cheers,
Alex
