The accolades for Stu and his discovery of 2011iv just keep on coming from professional astronomers and researchers alike. It's not often amateurs get to see how their contribution can have an impact on science. So I thought the line below from an email received today from a prominent professional astronomer working in this field would be of interest to regular and noobie amateur astronomers here on IIS and perhaps provide encouragement as well.

"2011iv: it is a great target, probably one of the best observed Ia's ever"

Apparently it is still being followed very closely by many professionals, and research papers will be issued in the near future.

As I have said before you never know where this amazing hobby can take you.
