Nice work First time I have seen this subject, that's what I like the most, there is always something new to see.

Top shelf Shane, very nice indeed

Wow Shane, you really know what you're doing there, good equipment, good knowledge and patience have been rewarded by a great shot. Like someone else mentioned, an object not often targeted is always refreshing to look at. Well done and thanks for sharing.

PS. Your JPEG compression is really nicely done as well, you can zoom right in and it remains smooth. No need to link us to a Hi Res!!

Cheers Michael. I have now run into an issue after adding a secondary heater to the RC today which is frustrating.
