hehe we southerners gotta support spaceweather - they look after us theyve helped and enabled me observe a few enjoyable things over the years as well as giving a excellent daily window to current events around the globe - not to mention being kind enough to use our our pics sometimes.

No Way! is it the pick of the bunch to me!! there was dozens and dozens of all excellent ones! but a big thanks anyway I appreciate it
if you submit pics to spaceweather, dont be discouraged if they dont use them - we have had dozens we submitted that werent accepted/usable over the years. Usually coz we took to long to submit (film) and it was out of date. But we have between stew an i, we have two front (or three?) pages spaceweather (photos) i think 5 different events/images used in galleries at least? Nice to featured on ~15 000 hits a day site tho

Signed humbly .. SuperStar Kearn - i wont forget youse!!

I can hear your theme song now, "oh lord its hard to be humble when you're...............". I'll let you fill in the blanks.

I agree that to get a shot on there is something special. i don't think the yanks know we exist sometimes, and that maybe we have some spectacular sights as well!!

Yeah, well....Didn't wanna be swamped with hanger-on's signing autograph's N stuff.....you know how it is.. I'm in total awe that they actually aired it really. I just up-loaded it to them as a joke, but then came that email from Melody! I should have sent her a conjunction shot sunday night. Gonna make her go 'OOooh! AAhhh' with a saturn shot soon...
