hey, awesome post JBF! Thank goodness you didn't flash your bottom at us ;)
John, are you shooting this thru a telescope or just camera and tripod? I'm impressed.
Gary-
NOBODY wants that! Thanks!
Max-
Freehand, with just my camera. I want to see if there is a way to remote control the camera (like an electronic version of the old remote shutter cable) since some of the super-macro shots would benefit from a tripod and less shaking. Multi-second shutter speeds demand a tripod. Thanks!
