I say Hey man, nice shot. 8)

I have tried numerous times to view the Pup with my 20" Obsession. Of course it has been accomplished many many times with much less aperture. However I live on the leeward side of a mountain range and seeing is just about always very poor. I find myself longing for some of that laminar air flow coming off of the Gulf of Mexico. The temperatures too should soon get me longing for that locale.
