Wow Jordo, there's some serious detail you've captured and I like the colour palette too. Well done, nothing not to like about that one! :thumbsup:

Wonderful...I wish I had half your talent.

But please more detail..scope, mount, camera, settings, subs, calibration, processing software etc is real helpful.

Well done.
