Thanks, I've developed a love for them in part because of how excited
my 5-year gets about them :-) I'm reprinting this one to give out to
his kindergarten class which has just finished a section on the
planets.

Post here when you have them! I have some others taken with a 24mm
and a diagonal fish-eye trying to get the whole field in. The
diagonal fish eye has only been used for daytime shots and star
trails, so I hadn't realized how bad the distortions where until I got
my film back. Similarly for the 24mm. I have to see if any of those
are useful :-(

Heh, heh. I was in a New York City park after dark.
