Thanks. Nice shots yourself. Definitely keep posting!

All are computer controlled and all images are sent to servers at the university via microwave from a tower in his yard. This professor tracked over 22,000 objects last year. The next closest tracking station, owned by NASA, tracked just 8,000.
That is incredible. What an investment in time and money but hey, how great is it to be able to email NASA "beating you by almost 3 to 1...and this is my hobby"

i was out chasing deer tonight and got these. I realy like my new 70-200 f4 lens but i can definitely see where a f2.8 with IS would help a lot at last light.
Thanks. I am happy you like the shots. Nice ones of all the deer. It's been along time since I've seen so many together.
