Thanks guys, I really appreciate your feedback.

It's very exciting to be featured on APOD today. I've received loads of encouraging feedback from people around the world and it's humbling that my image has had such a positive effect on them.

Oh and the stats on my blog look very nice. It'll be a nice blip in the radar for quite some time.

Thanks again.

Looks like you don't need to mate!

Congradulations!
