Thanks <g>. But it's mainly because in the past year my astro imaging has been primarily with a CCD and webcam. My only film-based astro images in '03 were some aurora shots in late October. I've also been busy completing an observatory--- well, it's _still_ not quite complete ;o) --- and working a few bugs out of some new equipment. I'll be primarily doing H-alpha CCD imaging with a refractor this year.

Take care,
John
