Thanks a lot, ChipB!

Nice series. Seems like you’re mostly using the zoom these days.

Thanks, that's great. Now I won't be embarrassed in polite conversation.

All too often it's not as easy as you'd like.

That's a great shot. It survived the cropping nicely at Forum resolutions.

Thanks!
Here's the original, SOOC showing why it was heavily cropped.

This is a scan from a chrome taken back in the film era so I cannot be certain what lens was used, but it was probably a Bigma, the only other possibility being a Sigma 300mm f4 APO macro.

Decided to go out tonight and play. This was taken with a Celestron 750mm f6 scope. Not a lot of DOF. Wanted to dial it in a little better, but the skeeters ran me in!! Nasty out there tonight!
