Super project - no doubt great patience required.

Looking forward to seeing more :toast: :toast:

very impressive. I would be tempted to crop a little to show greater detail in the KF, particularly at this size. I also wonder whether it would benefit from a bit of CW rotation. A very well taken shot though, this can't have been easy.

Excellent Andrew. I can't get one close enough on a stick, so I am very impressed at your action images.

Cheers
