[OM] OT copyright question

Hi all,

In an idle moment at work today I was browsing around some pages about solar eclipses, and to my surprise I found a site belonging to a commercial eclipse travel agent which has used one of my photos without my permission:

http://www.eclipsetours.com/transit1.html

Mine is the Milky Way photo about half way down the page. At least they included my name.

As they're a commercial company I don't want them using my photos for free, and I want to write to them and tell them that. What I don't know is what exactly I should be saying to them and how to approach this sensibly. Should I just ask them to cut the photo or would it be realistic to suggest some kind of payment? I thought I might suggest they give me a free ticket on the Mauritius tour!

I have a vague sort of copyright notice on my webpages at http://www.worldtraveller.f9.co.uk/photo/copyright.htm which in light of this I should probably revise. Not faced a situation like this before and appreciate any advice from you all.

Cheers,
Roger
