Very cool capture Carlo!
Every time I see captures like this, I have to restrain myself to get a second, faster scope. I now have a 2032mm scope which is totally great and I love it ... but these wider shot are appealing more and more. For now, the month long clouds and winds (tomorrow a big storm again with gusts of over 70 knots ) are stopping me from buying one. But it's on my list for sure
