Guess I got my 15 minutes of fame when I got a call from my local newspaper (St George and Sutherland Leader) that a photographer was going to cover my recent results at CWAS.
They sort-of got it right. No, I didn't say I'd won every award out there. When asked "Have you ever seen anything weird, eg like a UFO""
My answer was "No UFO's, but lots of stars (billions and billions as Carl Sagan would say).
Reporter: " Carl who?"
"Actually I did once see Plasma Sprites (while at work)...very few people have witnessed them... going into space from the top of a very active thunderstorm"
Their translation was interesting
that said... it's nice that they covered it as the "expanding boutique world of Astrophotograhy". I guess it is
