Hey! My humble sketch made it onto Astro Sketch of the Day!

After only discovering this website yesterday, I thought I'd make a submission today of my little sketch of NGC 253 done in August.

WOW! It's there now!!!

http://www.asod.info/?p=4106

I feel so amazingly humbled and honoured that my little bit of work is up.

I have to wake my missus to tell her!! Mmmm, maybe I'll just tell her tomorrow morning.

Wow Alex! Great sketch and many congratulations to you. How excited you must be! I'm excited - and I'm not you! Go wake her up! Go! Go!
And I was half asleep when I came here and logged on- saw your post first, now I'm a live wire.

Regarding above post of emoticons on strike...

My emoticons have broken down on me lately and I cannot for the life of me remember ever single one of them to go get them! Anyway - there were a heck of a lot of emoticons used by Alexander as can be seen. Use your imagination. The man was excited.
