Well, sorry but I hope the weather holds, my new 350D is here.

[h0ughy]

Yep my new 350D turned up today. I gave it a test run on a few items. Have yet to use the 75-300 lens, and the fisheye lens I got today as well. I have two 1200mAh battteries to come and a battery grip. Lookout duckadang here I come. It will stay standard until the 12 months warranty is over then off to the doctors to get fixed:lol: ;) and emerge a true astro camera:D

No the pentax is not jealous, it will still live with the 50-500 APO lens and I have a flash unit for it. So its still a mixed bag.

My first image was when I parked near the doctors in town to get a check up I couldnt wait, so I snapped a crane. the others are the linup of mercury, saturn, mars and the moon.:D

oh and a 30 second snap carefully laid on the ground facing up of the southern cross.

Whatta ya mean "almost"?
Congrats on the new photon collector Houghy!

[h0ughy]

:thumbsup: thanks Roger

[xelasnave]

So I guess you only wanted the 350d body and will probably sell the lens ???
I so let me know
Thanks for the compliment but I must say in the context, its impact is overpowering.. still I find it embarrassingly uplifting.
You have the gear to do most of what one would like to do so go enjoy yourself... I am sincerely happy for you.
