Blessings be upon you Chris! Big job mate, big effort. Big pat on the back from five and a half thousand members.

Thanks for prompting me to get of my backside by making me feel included.

Baz.

Can't thank you enough Chris.
You've taken what was just an offhand remark, a wishful idea, and turned it into reality.
Thanks for making it all happen. I really appreciate it.

Hey - thanks so much everyone, kind words indeed. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I love doing this sort of thing, and if I can pull everyone together to create what is ostensibly a snapshot of Australian amateur astrophotography, as it stands in September 2009, then I feel like we've all achieved something utterly worthwhile.

We're nearing 50 contributions now, and I've updated the last few pages and included them in the thumbnail mosaics. Our book is getting thicker!

Thanks everyone - I really appreciate the support. You've all done great jobs to get your material in. For those of you who haven't managed it yet - I've extended our deadline to next Monday (14th). The reason we have to have a deadline is so that we can get printing as soon as we can - I don't want to hold them back too late as the busy time in the year for them approaches.

Once again folks - my pleasure! Jeanette - thanks for that off-hand remark!

Hear Hear! This whole project just wouldn't be happening if it wasn't for the hard work of Chris.

It's going to be a beautiful looking book!

Cheers Chris, much appreciated and many thanks.
