really nice Ray

[RickS (Rick)]

That's a nice result, Raymo.

Thankyou Colin, Aidan, and Rick. It would be extra hard for me to smoke
it Aidan, as I gave up smoking cigars years ago. I still have an expensive
Cohiba Cuban cigar in it's tube, that was a gift I received just after quitting.

That's a really nice pic Raymo. Good one.

[raymo]

Thanks Cam; it turned out pretty well, considering that I lost many subs to
clouds. I wish I had a longer F.L. scope for some of these smaller targets.
I've just bought a 102mm Frac for the large targets.

Thanks Pete, I have some more subs to add to it; I don't know if they
will improve the image at all, we'll see.
