Very nice indeed MD.

I have just bought one of those lenses can't wait to use it...

Great capture MD 8)

Out of interest does it show up much on the individual subs?

Never had a go at it yet and I realise it's a big object but how bright?

Jamie - I'm surprised how little CA there is with the lens as it's not one of the Canon APO zooms.

Phil - It needs a lot of stretching to see anything on the subs. I process my subs in ImagesPlus which has an excellent Digital Development routine which seems to extract a lot of good data from faint subs. I use PS for stretching the final stacked image.
