    Nice, Nik! The closeup is definitely better further from the horizon. I *love* live view for astro shots!

    Chris,
    thanks man!thumb.gif
    Yeah, I agree and I know this. But I wanted to double check that even the latest and greatest gear has no way to overcome basic laws of optics ;)
    We should shoot some time! mwink.gif
    Cheers!
