Science @ NASA article
Venus Pillars
If each of us has 15 minutes of fame, this was mine. It was published on several NASA sites as well as
their home page, and Fred Schaaf did a small article about it in the October 2002 issue of Sky & Telescope
magazine.

The image is also included in British author Richard Baum's latest book, and according to what Richard has
told me, observers had sporadically reported a comet-like Venus (displaying pillars) since the days
of Kepler. The article Tony wrote isn't the way it happened, though. I was already at the observing area with my
camera, waiting for it to get dark enough to take a photo of Comet Ikeya-Zhang.

APOD
Comet Ikeya-Zhang Meets the ISS
This is the image that was taken about 20 minutes after the Venus pillar photo. I had absolutely no idea
the ISS was going to make a pass that evening, and I didn't know it would cruise right above Ikeya-Zhang
either. The timing turned out to be perfect.

LPOD
Seeing Double: Pythagoras
I was extremely honored when Chuck Wood contacted me and asked permission to use my sketch and
image of crater Pythagoras. It was the very first lunar sketch on LPOD.

A few more...
Insularum Interlude
Megadome
X Marks the Spot

EPOD
Mammatus Clouds
And since I'd already been on APOD and LPOD, why not complete the triad?

Science @ NASA article
Look at that Spaceship
This was a bitter-sweet publication, because five days after the article was posted Shuttle Columbia broke
apart on re-entry. Although they used my image for the article, the Shuttle in the photo is Endeavour and not
Columbia.

Miscellaneous..
The folks at Starry Nights (software) contacted me a few years ago and asked if they could include a few of
my Aurora images on an upcoming DVD in exchange for a free copy of Starry Night Pro Version 5... how could I
refuse?
My Aurora images are on the Solar Storm DVD, which is part of Starry Nights' 'Sky Voyager' set.
