seems like it is Orpingtons month in Sky at Night.

What pictures have me & Chris put in Doug?

I did a flip over on line of the mag pages, on line,  & saw mark with his photo

You'll find out when you buy the magasine  :P

Funny how it's the women who want to avoid buying stuff - unless of course it's a camera or observatory  :roll:
:lol: :lol:

Well mine & Chris's are very old images, don't know where they got those from.

I never look on the disc, always throw them away.

Would rather have had one in the mag.

I think it's safe to say this thread is terminally hijacked  :twisted:

Our work here is done - We should scarper before the forum rozzers show up  :police: :chase:

Anyway, the image of mine they published is 5 months old, well nearly, guess they ran out of other images...

OK, joking aside - Did I say that or was I just thinking it ?  :oops:

Anyway - great stuff - all of you - in print or on CD, your efforts have been acknowledged by the astronomy press.

But to hell with them, I think they are all great - thanks for sharing - And that also goes for all the other images that have appeared in print this year
