Thanks folks. I appreciate the comments.
@Steve: The Iris is worth as much tim was you can give it. I'd to a 20 hour on it if I had the patience. As it stands the last couple of times I've shot it I've given it all night long. Maybe one of these years I'll go several nights.
@Mark and Erik: Since there is no red nebulosity in the target, a stock camera does just as good as a modded one. If it had red in it, I'd have used my modded cam.
@Trevor: Sick?! I'm sorry to hear you don't like it. LOL... kidding.. I think it's sick too. And bad and killer and seriously wicked. 8^)
Thanks again for the great comments.
