Hey hey! Another fellow Astra owner.

I'm sure you've seen car videos where they stick a $$$$ video camera on the side of a car whilst it's being thrown around on a racetrack. Should be good for it. Put some backups in place.

Cool. Mine is different from everyone else's in that I have a pair of mis-matched tail lights. Someone rammed me from behind one night causing a big dent in the bumper, damage to the interior and a crack in the left tail light. Pretty bad damage overall, but insurance paid for the repairs.

Problem was that I had a set of dark tinted lights and unfortunately no-one at the repair shop noticed, even though I told the insurance people (multiple times). They just ordered in the standard set, and when I complained they all just shrugged.

So now I have one clear tail light on the left and a dark tinted one on the right.

Here's my attempt of the moon 2 nights ago

20D + 100-400 + 1.4TC, at 400mm (= 896mm), IS on, M mode, f8 (max aperture), 1/100s - not very sharp, should have stopped down to f16

It was throught the glass. I cropped the top of the steering wheel out.


Moon shots are tough just with camera lenses but this turned out well. The best shots I have seen are with cameras attached to telescopes. I guess the 20Da would come in handy in that case too.
