Congratulations Justin!!

Reading the article, I wasn't aware of Comet Sidings Spring. How likely is it to hit Mars?

Cheers,
Mario

Given the outstanding quality of the images I have seen from him, it is no wonder. They are top notch. Well deserved recognition I reckon.

Thanks to all for the kind comments!

I was surprised when the news rang and asked if they could use my image.

I see couple of comments about image reversal, the image is correct.
Remember this is a morning shot to the south east. This is before panstarrs became visible in the evening sky.

Congrats Justin!!! Your images have been spectacular - both in individual quality and sheer quantity - so it's great to see that you get some well deserved public recognition Like all the other SE QLDers here, I'm just incredibly jealous that you've had so many nights of clear sky!!

Thanks Dave!

Yes you've had a ruff time of it down the eastern sea board. I'ts a pitty becuase that's where most of the imagers are. There could have been some really amazing images .

Cheers,

Justin.
