A Bit Of A Surprise When I Opened "Practical Astronomer"

[jcm]

They had published a picture I had sent them.

Its at the bottom left on page 64 - Flame and Horsehead nebs.

Some of the detail has been lost in the "crunching" down to fit the space , but who cares its my first published image since I started imaging at the start of 2007. Thanks to everyone who has given me advice on this forum.

Congratulations John. Well deserved I reckon.

[jcm]

Thanks everyone.

Its a pity that a lot of the detail ( thats visible in the original ) around the Horsehead has been lost when the image was rescaled.

Congratulations John I have seen the picture posted on here and it was superb. I must get a subscription sorted for this mag, I saw it on a stand at Kelling Heath and thought it was very good with in depth articles.

I find the magazine excellent and many of the articles have practical suggestions for improving your observing , imaging and just as important processing techniques. This months ( Dec) has articles on autoguiding and collimation.

Well done John, you have a great talent, along with many

others on SGL, so don't be surprised at this belated recognition. There will be more to follow, there's no doubt about that.

It's a widefield of Holmes next to Melotte 20. Not a patch on yours which really stood out. I forgot to give them the image details but it was just a Canon 350d with 75-300mm lens. Typically 2 days after sending it the conditions were miles better and I took a much better one not complaining though

My girlfriend nearly barfed when she read the blurb I'd attached to it

I thought mags liked these types of descriptions.

If Richard ( other comet image on the page ) was on this forum we could have had an SGL page in the mag.
