          Wouldn't Photoshop Elements have been cheaper? You'd have certainly got a better picture...

          Seriously, though: respect. Very nice picture. God knows where you live, though? The light pollution around here would have left you with nothing but a big bright smudge.

            Cheers. I live in the sticks with low light pollution. Took the pic through an open window.

              That only works if God is on your side. The infidel has balls all chance.

                    Nice pics...surprised that a Nikon lens doesn't hold its f no through the range
                    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think
