Got one or two stars down under, I see.

Nice shot.

George,

Thanks!

Unfortunately, the 20Da isn't mine, it belongs to Shalom (who also posts here). I love it, though, and would dearly like one. It'd be perfect!

Regards,
Humayun

JAICOA,

Yeah, it is pretty densely populated there.

I will try this one again and hopefully bring more detail out towards the right.

Thanks!
