I received an email today to say that my image of IC 405 The flaming Star Nebula has been voted picture of the week for week commencing March 31st 2008 on www.myastrospace.com I am particularly pleased with this considering the short exposure time and the low altitude in the sky. Also it makes all the sleepless nights sat in the cold really worth it when like minded enthusiasts consider your work to be good enough to be picture of the week.

I have added a new section to the site on how I set up and do a typical nights imaging

I found out today that my image of the Heart nebula (IC 1805) has been voted picture of the week on www.myastrospace.com/index.htm This is a very friendly site and forum based in Australia which I joined just over a week ago, I have to admit I was very chuffed with this as I had only just started using the TMB 115 with H36 and Ha filter and I hadn't long joined the forum.

Just got back today from Astrofest 2008, I was helping out on The Widescreen Centre stand upstairs. There were lots of people there and it was nice to meet new faces. I think there were more people than when I went last year so it is going from strength to strength. The highlight for me was when I got the opportunity to meet Sir Patrick Moore and have a brief chat with him before he started signing books on the Saturday afternoon. I found him to be a most charming person with a great sense of humour. I asked him about quoting a passage from his autobiography in the jokes section and he was delighted to help out so check out the jokes section for proof that Jesus Christ would have given Tiger Woods a run for his money at the Masters Golf championship.
