I have noted a common thread of injustice in recent years. When Anthony discovered the impact on Jupiter (the first one). There was quite a lot of resistance to recognize his discovery at first. This went on for several days before finally JPL made a statement. Now this, I see this as a failure to recognize the value that amateurs have in the field of imaging. Being snubbed demonstrates how far things have yet to be sorted. Funding grants being lost obviously means more than the truth.
Yes you made the mistake of not getting in contact sooner but I reckon that would not have mattered anyway. It is high time professionals respected amateur imaging and at least give co discovery as a minimum.
That said Steve, there is some concession of having your name out there, albeit with words falling short of the respect needed.
