He has use of a very nice camera and lens.
Bet Nutsy would **** sea urchins if he could take such fine photos.

That is indeed a very nice photo.
However, some of the stars have a "round" shape. That would suggest that
the optics were not much better than I(or Bob) could afford.

It's only 160k. Your broadband connection should deal with it easily. I
suspect that there was a "blockage" when you tried to look at it. Maybe it
would be quicker if you tried again.
