Thanks for your support guys
The results of the Sky & Telescope Beautiful Universe photo contest are out 
There were some awesome images amongst the finalists so I was very honored to recieve the readers choice award in the Star Clusters category, for my Omega Centauri image! 
This was a World Wide contest and to have had one of my images received so well by my peers amongst names like Gendler, Croman, Verschatse, Ballauer and Misti is very satisfying and indeed humbling 
You can see all the award winners at:

Use the grey page numbers 2/3 way down the page to scroll through the images.
Thanks again
Mike Sidonio
