I too have it on my to do list. Not with photography but sketching. Big A3 sheet and my 17.5" scope. Pieces of this size actually require a bit of planning. And that's half the fun too

Alex.
Thanks Alex, it certainly is quite a sight visually especially through some like your 17.5" & sketching it would definitely be a mission, I admire your patience & talent in that area.
Cheers,
Tony
