Tried this last night, man, I just hate how it looks! I strung wire across my AP 130EDF to create the reflector look...I just don't like it, looks kindda fakey!

How many of you guys were out there last night? Was it cold or what?!?!! My 20D stopped working- I had to roll a 4" heater strip around the body to get it working again- never had that before!

The tremendous wind gusts made for slightly elongated stars sad

Try some finer wire or better yet a human hair! Then it might give the effect you want, a subtle star burst effect.

Wonderful Ivan and a testatment to your dedication indeed. Have your fingers thawed out yet? I like the spikes. Next time take a look at the width of the spider arms in the Epsilon. About the same effect. Waiting for you to post the otherssmile
