Ah...come on Greg...be a little more terse with your "snapshot reviews"
It doesn't look like this exposure had any tracking/guiding/polar alignment....so I'm guessing it's a straight tripod shot.
The optics might be the best since sliced bread...but...sorry... that image just doesn't show it.
How about a link to a full-res RAW frame? i.e. no in dark rings from in-camera sharpening ( It's OK .. we have cable-internet in the Shire
)
I like the fact you post this stuff...but as presented, it's hard to get a handle on just how good/bad the new toys might be.
