I suspect you would not do this with the Rangefinder, where composition is so easy after you have 'struggled' to focus. I reckon a Monochrome with the nocti would handle this ;-) Alastair > My son is 23 and in his last year of the Masters programme in Aerospace > Engineering at the University of Bath.
