Celestron- Thank you. Yes this was with the 400 5.6, Its a GREAT lens. Def worth every penny! I did some pp to it. unsharp mask, highpass filter, boosted contrast and lowered brightness. nothing to major.

Jon- thanks jon :)

Awesome shot. I have tried a few with 100-400 and definately not a sharp at this one.

This is exactly why I retired my Meade ETX90EC for the 400/5.6L... instant set-up and AF! Live View focusing rules too!

Thanks ellery, the 400 5.6 is a great lens! I use it all the time for wildlife. This was actually my first use outside of that :)
