Ahem - Michael is now a "Radio Astronmer" dontcha know That's a new aerial or software or electronic gizmo of some sort
Though I suspect the prize money will just about cover his flights and accomodation. Now, the royalties on the postcards... $$$ Kerchinggggg!
Michael will be back home tomorrow but he might just get a chance to get online at the hotel tonight if we're lucky... He might even speak to us
By the way - I'm still trying to track down Paul Smith... Anyone?

BTW Congrats Michael.
Your chosen orientation made me look at the moon from a slightly different perspective. When one considers the "face" on the moon I see a "face" that I didn't see before which is new to me and makes the moon present itself afresh. I appreciate it - there is a stroke of genius in it.
I hope this doesn't sound too silly.
