Great image. That 400 5.6 is one sharp lens isn't it ?! I've been mulling of the purchase of one vs. the 300 f4 IS. Decided to go with the 300 since I already own the 1.4x TC II.

Great posts!

Kurt, Nice shot. Lucky to catch it at rest. In flight shots are proving to be a real challenge to me.

Wes,
I can remember only a few years ago(as many others here can) your Saturn and Jupiter jaw dropping images. I believe this was about the same time that most of us were just learning the ropes of our ToUcam 740's and Registax V1 smile

I think this image says it all. That scopes mirror, your seeing conditions, your technique, image processing skills and updating your camera choices are all very obvious.

WONDERFUL IMAGE ! (how about that color wheel?) smile
