Astrophotography for a cause

[paulobao]

Hi all.

This message is used to provide the following information:

I sent my picture of IC1396A (http://stargazerslounge.com/picture-week-competitions/156445-picture-week-18-09-2011-a.html) in a competition organized by the Bank Santander, Portugal. Everyone with a Facebook account can vote once a day. The most interesting part: if I happen to win the prize (5000 euros), it will be to support this institution to severe hearing impairment(here : home).

If you want to participate please click here http://www.conteconnosco.com/trabalh...e2.php?id=1672.

(and after click "Votar").

Remember you can vote every day once a day until December 31!

I am happy to help the institution and you should feel happy too .

Astrophotography in the service of a cause and not just for our personal satisfaction!

I know it's a Portuguese, not a British, but astronomers know how the earth is small!

Greetings and thank you very much.

A very wise thought, Paolo, that the world is small. Hearing impairment is one of the cruellest disabilities because it cuts you out from easy, friendly communication.

Well said Olly. Please pass the message.

And I did not forget the files .

Hi Paulo

Had problems with clicking the link above so visited the site and worked out that it should be

Conte Connosco - IC1396A - Uma Nebulosa a 2400 anos luz.

Good luck with the voting

Cheers John

Thanks so much to all.

John, you need to login with Facebook. Then it is easy to vote. And you may vote once a day until the last day of December.

Regards,
