Wow - that is gorgeous! I just ordered the extender rings last nite and now I can't wait for them to come so I can really put the AT6RC through the paces! This image has me pumped! Great shot.

Marc - I am at lat 42 and have gotten this one. It's low, but do-able.

Thanks Doug and Hopp. I was quite surprised that I got this with only 96min. For the sake of "completenes"" I plan to add more time to this tonight...
