Thanks Brett,Mike,Doug and Narayan
Richard Macey from SMH was interested in the photo and we had a good long chat over the phone. He's a nice guy Richard. Guess what? ABC radio saw the article and now they want to interview me tonight live. I am very nervous.Its scarry.

Well done Vincent,

Congratulations on a really great article, yes Richard Macey is a top Journalist and obviously recognized your image as a most news worthy item.

It is excellent, in this year of astronomy, for an amateur to receive such recognition, well done and well deserved.

Don't worry about the ABC they are excellent people and I am sure they will put you at ease.

Regards
Trevor
