S@N Sunday night

[Uranium235]

Is it me, or did I just see an SGL member on the telly winning an imaging competition?

Had to do a double take... im sure it was!

Alex, if that was you - well done!

[melsky]

Yes it was Alex (Astrosurf), mine you I was one of the judges

[Naemeth]

A very fine image it was too

[malc-c]

I thought I recognized that face - well don Alex

[tich]

Fame at last eh? Well done Alex.

[Astrosurf]

Hi guys and thanks! I haven't seen the programme yet. I saw the snippet on the S@N website but was worried they wouldn't use the clip and they did! I was crashed out last night but hubby recorded it so I'm going to see it now. It's my birthday today so a lovely prezzy!

Well done and happy birthday.

[Astrosurf]

Thanks Paul! Just watched it. A Mars fest! My favourite planet. So a lovely programme all round. I'm dead chuffed!

[LukeSkywatcher]

I have it recorded. Will have a gander later.

[knobby]

I'll be watching tonight... And happy birthday

[Astrosurf]

Hope you enjoy!

[Siriusmeg]

Happy birthday Alex!! See you on Sat?

Congratulations

[Luke]

Happy birthday, Alex, and congrats on your new-found fame, look forward to seeing the programme tonight

[Astrosurf]

Thanks guys! Can't make it Sat as I'm in France for the second leg of my twin sis's birthday. She was married last Sat. My 85-yr-old mum, who lives in the south of France, couldn't make it so it was streamed online to her. But we're all going out there for a week-long shindig and a second wedding. I haven't seen Mum for two years. Can't wait! This is me at the wedding too whacked to dance upright any more. Fat lady does ground dancing! -

Hope you have a briliant time Alex.

Nice to see my lovely girls doing their bit for kids' astronomy too, even though one of them legged it as John Culshaw came towards them Older one did a great job of sounding knowledgeable (and they had independently ticked off quite a bit of the list by the end of the evening - clever girls!)

[Astrosurf]

Your girls are lovely. I can understand running away! I would have done so at her age. It's hard when a camera points at you at any time. Rose was brilliant. Of course this is also about all the others who were on the S@N that evening: You and your family, Robin Smitten (Chairman), Mel Gigg, Andy Smith, Steve Levett, Dougie Wells and all the others in CNAAG who did their excellent bit. A wonderful astro society and one I'm so proud to be a part of.

[Siriusmeg]

Couldn't have said it better myself :grin:

[Pig]

Hey that's great news well done that woman

Is there a link to it anywhere ?

[Astrosurf]

Thanks Sarah! And Pig, here's a link to the CNAAG bit. I'm sure it'll be on BBC iPlayer soon too.

Congrats Alex and hope you had a great birthday

[Astrosurf]

Thanks Robbie. And I did have a lovely time: too much food and booze, but who's complaining?! (Except possibly my stomach this morning! )

[Rockrae78]

Not been on here for a while, but just watched this month's sky at night on iPlayer and was gobsmacked to see someone I recognised! Well done Alex!

Was going to send you a message to check it was definitely you, but then I saw this thread!

Hope you have fully recovered from your flooding at SGL8 and hope that it hasn't put you off for next year!

[nightfisher]

well done, will have to watch it on catch up

[earth titan]

Well done. Thought it was you!
