IFAS Astronomer Of The Year 2008

Both your work in general and the discoveries in particular have been inspirational to all of us.
And to cap it all you're such nice guys too.
Warmest congratulations, and I hope next year will be just as memorable for you both.

I think that its also fair to mention Andreas Doppler (who also happens to be mad busy at work) - he was an instrumental part in both discoveries and certainly deserves credit too.

My part in the background didn't make it into the headlines, so thanks for mentioning me Dave.

So I'm sure the three of us will have a wee dram to celebrate over the Holiday Season.

Yeah, i want to see you bemedalled

Dave and Dave,

I apologize for being AWOL but please accept my sincerest congrats on this fine and worthy recognition. I know you do it because of shear love and lust but the recognition for the sacrifices and long nights is also a nice reward.

Fingers crossed you can repeat next year by starting fresh on your next set of discoveries in about ten days' time.

Anthony.
