I've replied to Mike via PM, but to let everyone else know this was the US version of S&T.

I absolutely agree.
It shall be known as....
NGC 253-dw2.the Sidonio Gallaxy
And if this can not be so I have no idea as why.
Great stuff Mike
Your biography is sure to run three volumes
And really your story would make a great movie.... Seriously
Its great to see these things unfold.
I could see a speaking tour for example
Your achievement was momentous

Well done Mike - on both counts (discovery & articles) - and a nice bit of icing on the cake.

Ha ha chees guys it's proved a rather popular smudge, so ...Anthony has his black spot and I have a smudge 
While I've had a couple'a images published, this is only my second article in US S&T...the first one was waaay back in 1987

That's a good article as well Mike. Ektachrome 400, those were the days.
The advert for Compuserve brings back memories, I used to use them for bulletin board access with my superfast 1200 baud modem around that year.
I also doubt that Murrumbateman is a dark site now.
Cheers
Bill
