Hi Everyone, thanks again for your comments and greetings. This story has certainly gone around the world, I had no idea it would create such a buzz!
I've lost count of the places it has been published now, and it's been a crazy day today! Just this evening I've had crews from 3News, Dominion Post and Western Leader at the house. Probably spent a good 1 1/2 hour giving interviews and explaning how my telescope works
Also managed to mention IceInSpace, so hopefully they'll include that somewhere.
It's supposed to run tonight on TV3 Nightline 11:10pm NZST. And be repeated tomorrow morning on Firstline from 6am. Don't know how it'll turn out yet
I was also interviewed by Jim Mora live on RadioNZ, the interview is here:

And many others have contacted me, including Dr Grant Christie of the Stardome Observatory in Auckland with whom I had a very enjoyable chat this afternoon.
And here I thought astronomy was a peaceful quiet passtime
