Weeeell...in this case and even though it wasn't a
discovery as such, the full colour version of this image was kindaaaa recognised by the pro community as it was chosen as the diffinitive visible light image of Centaurus A for the
Many Faces of Centaurus A international conference held in Sydney in 2009
. It was exhibited in the conference hall along side 5 other large posters showcasing Centaurus A in major wavelengths from ground and space based observatories...in fact my image actually appeared in another one of the posters even so yes, it is hard to get any sort of pro recognition in the imaging field but it
can happen
T'was a great honour
Here are the 6 posters
That is a big file at that site, so here is a
more managable size version of the poster
