I was going to ask you some questions about it until I looked at some of the previously unread posts, going back to last August, and decided not to waste your time. Just curious how you got such good pictures though, and would you mind lending your camera to Ed Foote? Actually, probably not necessary, as his last description was rather thorough. David Skolnik Actually, one question. Is the silicon their addition or yours?
