I am delighted to announce the availability of the "100 Hours of Astronomy Sidewalk Astronomy and Starparty Awards" video (1h53m streaming video). These awards were granted to outsanding participants participating inside the 100 Hours of Astronomy, part of International Year of Astronomy 2009.

I am part of the organizing team and the judge committee, so I am extremely happy to be able to help provide some prizes. I present in the video the Award number 4, halfway down into the video, with my handheld camera...

This kind of activities are only possible with the voluntary help of many people. People who also belive on the idea of "The Universe, yours to discover". The outcome is of great value and we put a lot of effort and time to prepare it, but all that is wet paper without the help of all these people, all around the world. We were a historical success, but only because of you, thank you. I wish we had awards for everyone!.
