Hi all,
Yes, Allan, we certainly are proud of it.
To add further to a question that DT asked last week about Stu's success at finding these, he has been particularly productive at imaging galaxies from New Zealand over the last 2 weeks or so because he has both observatories imaging, and has much clearer weather than we do here in Queensland. As I write this, we have had 3 days of cloud, with much of Queensland recording more rain for July than has been recorded in the last 60 years! And, we still have several days of cloud with rain increasing up to the weekend, so no more imaging for Peter and I here.
To give you an idea of image numbers, in the last 10 days since 1 July, I have imaged and checked about 400 of my own images taken at my Windaroo Lakes Observatory, and checked over 200 of Stu's images, so 600 total. Now, 400 images checked is a healthy number for me to image and check after only 10 days. Peter has probably checked the same numbers as me.
However by contrast, Stu has taken more than 3000 images altogether over the same time!!
That's why he picks these up so effectively.
