If you think something is nothing, then indeed that is, to you, what it will be. Nothing. If, on the other hand, being out in gorgeous surroundings, under a full moon, with crisp clear see forever winter mountain air, with no competition from artificial lights, with your LEICA, is an activity that you are with anticipation looking forward to, it will indeed be an extraordinary event. Regardless of what the naysayers say. Jim
