Axel, it is always a thrill to open your posts - your photos are
delightful! Hard choice but I think that the comet shot is my favourite,
despite the comet not being at its best.

You are the only person I know of using a SP-DX mount - is it as good as
I'm told? Great story about the water tank too!
