Paul, Nice going with the sign! I`d like to have one. I had a photo frenzy Friday night, crescent (very thin) moon with the 1000mm, then Vandenberg Air Force Base launched a missile of some sort which left these beautiful contrails that were lit up by the sun under the horizon, then the contrail had a nice rainbow in it, shot it with the 1000 and LX, Super Program and 28mm, 50mm, 135mm, and 200mm, it was quite the scramble with tripod and lenses before the contrails were gone. Loved every minute!
