Yes i agrea, that would do the trick, for the rest, the image is awesome, the overall coloring it all works great, if only...a bit sharper. Great try though, now we wait for you to get that lens.
Chris, although you know very well the limitations of your present equipment, you gave us the best possible result and I have respect for that. To me it's still a wonderful and impressive image! Thanks (for sharing) & regards. Cornelius
