HONORED.
I have once again been selected as a Judge for a national Astronomical Imaging competition. The President of a Astronomical League contacted me directly (!)
Here are the details for the Astronomical League which holds these competitions annually:
"The Astronomical League is an umbrella organization of amateur astronomy societies. Currently their membership consists of over 330 organizations across the United States, along with a number of Members-at-Large, Patrons, and Supporting members. The mission of the Astronomical League is to promote the science of astronomy by fostering astronomical education; providing incentives for astronomical observation and research; and assisting communication between amateur astronomical societies."

Honored!!

(and featured as First image in Gallery!!!)
I received it in the mail today - awesome "next day" Christmas Present 🎄
"Reflector" is a *printed* national magazine where my work has been featured before (for those of you tracking) 🙂 The Astronomical League consists of over 240 amateur astronomical societies across the United States.
