  1. Finally, thanks to everyone who helped. Tom with the website, Cat with the art, Chrissie, and so, so many others. Thanks so much
  2. You can reply to the questions here on Twitter, or on the blog http://darkskies2010.wordpress.com/, or email inspired@darkskies2010.com

  14. Thanks all for comments yesterday. We'll ask again tomorrow as some UK people were more interested in politics than stars last night :-)
