Nice work guy's!

[Tamtarn]

Thanks for the comments Frank Peter and Louie much appreciated

Lots of colour there too. Very nice. Like to try this soon.

Darn shame about the tree as it looks like it could have done with more data. Still, with the data you've acquired, some nice details are starting to emerge. Hope you get to complete this mission and add more data soon.

Cheers

Wow you did that with an unmodded 40D? That's a great result.

Greg.

Thanks Greg our combo of the C9.25 and 40D seems to be working well for us up to now.

Thanks for the comments Werner Ric and Jeanette

Lovely detail in this one Guys. The background looks a little smooth for my liking. More data and these two would jump off the monitor and start spinning.
Very nice, well done.

[Alchemy (Clive)]

remarkable, the new 9.25 sure does give the detail

well done
