Awards
Astral Award: 1996 National Australian Convention of Amateur Astronomers
The Cookbook CB245 CCD camera: evaluation of performance
Malin Award: Solar System Section
2006: The Colours of the Moon.
Citation by David Malin: “The colours of the Moon are subtle, but they reflect real differences in composition of the surface. By exaggerating the colours, these differences are revealed and are clearly associated with the largest features. It is a striking, well-executed image that displays a little-known fact about a familiar object.”
