Sonny, is this the latest lens you just ordered? Its now not far from you in Menlo Park. But I'm not sure your mount is up to the task of using it! And its only using a 3.2 Gpixel camera! Must be stitching a whole bunch of sensors together. Would take only 100 32Mpixel sensors.

Now THAT is a wide angle lens to make Star Trails with!

LOL! Why? Because we can!
(And somebody else is paying for it.)
