So much detail there.

Again, thanks one and all for the positive comments.

I was in two minds about what gear to use to photograph Leonard, but
the choice to use a fast and shorter focal length turned out to be a good one as the detectable tail from the Blue Mountains easily spanned 5 degrees of sky. The Canon 200mm is possibly one of the sharpest lenses
..even at full aperture..made by Canon. A pity it has been discontinued.

I highly recommend use of Camranger/Ipad or any DSLR imaging...makes
getting focus and framing just so much easier. Simple, lightweight and just works. (I used a similar rig for my eclipse shots)
