Just seen at the end of today that I got today’s EPOD with “The Reddest Stars”.

Thank you Jim for continuing to publish my work

Just been told I got today’s Earth Science Picture of the Day (EPOD) http://epod.usra.edu/

Took a look, and yep, sure enough, my favourite insect – the Morpho Rhetenor butterfly which kindly provided me with the Patent design for a new type of Photonic Crystal

Thank you Jim at EPOD for continuing to publish my work.

My recent Mars & Spica DSLR image made today’s Earth Science Picture of the Day (EPOD).

Thank you Jim for publishing my work

Today’s EPOD (Earth Science Picture of the Day) is a particularly dense part of the Milky Way I found by looking at a Planetarium program – it is in Cygnus.

I called it “Stars Like Dust” after the Isaac Asimov story – but Jim has renamed it Stars Like Grains of Sand – possibly Asimov’s title is Copyrighted

Whatever – thank you Jim for continuing to publish my work from the New Forest Observatory.

Postscript:  HAH!!!  Good one Jim  I see that your title comes from Samuel R. Delany’s “Stars in my Pocket like Grains of Sand” – never heard of that one before.  You win!!

Got today’s Earth Science Picture of the Day (EPOD) http://epod.usra.edu/ with the recent “12 brightest stars” montage I put together.

Thank you Jim at EPOD for continuing to publish my work

Got today’s Earth Science Picture of the Day (EPOD) with “Fibonacci Spirals in the Garden” - http://epod.usra.edu/

Thank you Jim for continuing to publish my work

Managed to get today’s EPOD with my process of the DSS2 data of the Pleiades region.

Thank you Jim at EPOD for continuing to publish my work

Today’s Earth Science Picture of the Day (EPOD) http://epod.usra.edu/blog/2013/09/navigators-companion.html is an image of the Polaris region with the North Celestial Pole shown by a marker.

This is EPOD number 53  Thank you Jim at EPOD for continuing to publish my work.

I just did a quick check through of all the Earth Science Picture of the Day (EPOD) images that have been published by Jim over the years and I found I had missed 2 off the list.  So when I said I had recently managed to get my 50th EPOD, it was in fact EPOD number 52.  My name is also against two more EPODS, one is Brian May’s Sundog stereo, and the other is Alex Cherney’s superb Zodiacal Light shot from the Canary Islands – but as I didn’t actually take the images – these two do not appear on my EPOD listing.

My 50th Earth Science Picture of the Day (EPOD) was posted today

Many thanks Jim for sticking with me and my various oddball pictures.
