I something I'd never tried nor concerned myself with in shooting over 45 years. Hell these guys got me out to try and shoot it and I did it my way and learned that my 800 Leitz lens didn't give me what I thought it should. What I did find out from some of the comments was that I should have worked with a shorter lens. Come on, so it's the biggest thing since sliced bread, it isn't that big a deal to make unkind re-marks to a bunch of people who are just like you, dedicated photographers who see a bit of humour in life. Relax my friend lifes too short. Thanks for the information you posted and if I'm not too late I'll have another go at the comet. And like I said, if I missed it, Why hell I'll just wait around for the "second coming!" :) ted Victoria, Canada http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
