Attilla -ok..I'll take the bait.? Yes I'm sure Mr. Olson has exceeded my imaging skills and gear. My last image was taken in 2007, Bob has had 14 years to catch up and surpass me hence I would be surprised if he was still producing the substandard images he was taking in the early 2000s.? ;^) However I'll put my M51 up against his if I could see it.
cheers, Albert.
I¡¯ll get the popcorn!
