Thanks, Bobby. The exposure times were 15 min for the 800 mm f/4 image
and only 8 min at 135 mm f/2.8 (this exposure went well into the morning
twilight which progresses incredibly fast at these latitudes (23° 14' S)).

I know, last year wasn't particularly productive for a number of reasons
(mostly lack of time). I don't have any immediate plans for a trip to the
US, although there might be a slight chance towards the end of the year.

Clear skies,

Axel
