And just for Background, this medal is Australia's highest honour for achievements in amateur astronomy and is awarded by the professional astronomers themselves as judged by the ASA.
This is how I got notified: "I’m writing to let you know that we have a winner for the 2012 Berenice and Arthur Page Medal. The medal will be awarded to Anthony Wesley for high quality observations of the Jovian and Saturnian atmospheres and the discovery of an impact cloud and an atmospheric flash on Jupiter from superbolide collisions"
Completely well deserved recipient, and of course I had the pleasure of congratulating Anthony in person.

Thanks everyone, it's a great honour to be chosen as the 2012 recipient. I'm on my way back home today - made it to maitland tonight, in the middle of some ferocious storms.
I'll be home lunchtime tomorrow and hoping to get some clear skies and get back into imaging in the next few days.
cheers, Bird
