Very Cool story Shane
...and a great M8 too, lovely colour.
Reminds me of exactly my reaction when I first saw a sub from my first CCD camera back in 03,
this was that sub. I fairdinkum was over come with delight and disbelief and started running around the scope singing halellulia, no joke
. I ran inside and dragged the misses and kid out and
said look at that!..that's another galaxy
. Unlike your friends reaction though......my wife said the obligatory "Oooh that's nice dear"
but my 11 yrold son was a bit more accomodating and hung around looking at a few more subs before going back in out of the Canberra cold.
