     Congratulations to Fay, Mark and Chris for getting their images onto the Sky at Night magazine CD.  You finally made it, chaps.  Great stuff and excellent images.

Just so we all don't rush out and buy the wrong issue  :-?  Is this the March issue ?

How odd, I don't think I have sent them anything for about 8 months?

Ian

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

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.

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
