"Btw, I want to re-read that article again, do you remember which issue it was? No, I don't want the magazine signed.
Aaaah sorry Peter, couldn't resist.. all too funny, you walked right into that one.
Many congratulations Peter on your 5th SN discovery!
The speed at which you guys are nabbing these are getting higher and higher! Just think what Stu could do with a third observatory! But I guess that would mean zero sleep.
What an amazing 12 months it's been for the BOSS team, so incredibly proud of you guys and when you talk about NASA's equipment & Hubble even (!) partaking in these obs... WoW!!![/QUOTE]"
Thanks so very much Suzy for your kind words.
The article you refer to in AS&T was April 2010 pages 46-48 and err umm happy to sign it err umm for a fee, see my agent Ron Gibson C/-Sirius Optics hehe. Actually Greg Bryant has given us permission to scan the article and put it on our website
www.bosssupernova.com onya Greg!
In all seriousness though I take my hat off (even though I don't wear one) to you Suzy and many others like you here on IIS who answer beginners questions so very well and with much passion and relevant information - as I have often said you do amateur astronomy a great service that so often goes unrewarded unlike discoveries and pretty pictures - I therefore dedicate SN2012dy to Suzy and all those who do great service to amateur astronomy for no fee.
Stu a 3rd observatory is a done deal - well err umm he has that set up and will be doing 10,000 images per month until he goes bonkers from blinking. Ok we are helping him out on that but it's raining non stop in Oxford NZ and he is going bonkers anyways.
Thanks again and keep up the great work!
