Hey iceman - that's exactly what happened to me when I looked through William's (ArgoNavis) 25inch SDM. Completely floored me. Six months later and I had sold my sole to the devil and had my own 20! It was worth every cent and more

Similar to Deeno's picture above, here's a couple of mine from that night that I remembered I hadn't got around to posting.

The first one has an iridium flare on the right hand side

The night was very dewy and was hard to stop the camera lens from fogging up.

Sounds like you all had a nice time with the big scope. I can't help but notice something happening here that has already started over here with mine. Once you get a big dob, you are pretty much cured of apperture fever there and then... actually though, what seems to really happen is your old fever just gets spread around
