One of my images published in my local paper

[Midpoint]

Blatant self promotion, but the image is on page two of today's Welwyn Hatfield Times (I say my picture, but it was a collaborative effort between my other half and myself, I provided the scope and she provided the camera.)

It's certainly not a good picture though as it's one from Saturday night when we were still trying to work out what to do! It's not focused correctly and the picture they went with doesn't have much contrast either.

However, having read the article, I do regret not mentioning light pollution.

Well done to you and your Mrs.

[Dave S]

Nicely done.

Nothing wrong with a bit of blatant self promotion

Dave...

[SeedyF]

Everyone has to start with something - well done

[Midpoint]

Thanks very much all. Hopefully my next published picture (if I manage it) will be more deserving of praise.

[Mr Spock]

Well done! It doesn't hurt to have a bit of fame.

[NickMilner]

Very nice.

[JamesM]

The trouble with getting the the other half involved is that you will never hear the last of it! Congratulations on the picture by the way!

Clear skies

James

Congrats on having your picture published. ;-)

Too bad I can't read the text...

Now why does the headline remind me of Pink Floyd?

[RobH]

Well done....you must both be thrilled
