Yes I have to say finally something has gone right (almost), if an image like this had taken any longer I would have gone and it can only improve from her (hopefully)

The huge 35mm chip is great and even better is that I am seeing almost full illumination and I think the very small amount of vignetting is caused by the filters and more specifically the o-rings that hold the filters in the filter wheel - they are too thick and reduce the clear aperture of the filters to less than 45mm

I agree wind sucks (bowel wind too )

Mike
