Bruce, It's not just equipment, it's viewing conditions as well. I see less subtle dark details here than I do in the basement. Here I use my laptop with a 3 pane sliding glass door right behind me - north light. In the basement I'm a troglidite. Weak 60 watt lights in the ceiling leaves it dark! You see different things on the 20 inch LCD in the basement.
And as before, I like the photo. The crescent moon is an eye magnet! Regards, Bob S.
