AE Aurigae and the Flaming Star Nebula

One of the things I always looked forward to when getting on the C&F board was seeing the latest NASA APOD image posted by Denny. I never thanked him for the effort he took to post each image link, but I hope I can continue posting for others to enjoy (insert "The Parting Glass" from "Waking Ned Devine" here).

Thank you -- I was hoping someone would do this!

I had never even heard of the APoD before coming to C & F, and Denny got me interested in the whole thing. I had also never heard of TED talks, and now I listen to them every week.

For someone who lived on a horsefarm out in the boonies (and gave his job description as "sh*t slinger ), he had really wide-ranging interests.

If I remember right, Denny also belonged to a hiking forum, where he posted some gorgeous examples of his nature photography. The view from his house had spectacular mountains -- I remember seeing his pictures but I don't know which mountains they were. I bet somebody can fill us in on that.

It's going to take me a long time for it to really sink in that he's not coming back. I keep expecting Denny to chime in on the thread.

Thank you so much, Dave. This means more than you know.

(but don't ask me to click on the picture...I never would. I always tried to get Denny to explain it to me, without my clicking. I'm lazy )
