Yes ... I didn't mention that (in the fine print). It was a test to see who noticed. Good on you Lewis.

Although in fairness to Canon, I'd like to know how small an area that crop (with CA) was enlarged from. And then out of plain old curiosity compare it to a top end say >=150mm aperture scope on the same target.
