Click on the High Res version of the photo and just look at it. Landing Think of the work it took to get this shot. Timing is perfect. Of all of the photos taken during our short push into space, I think this is by far the best. This would be a great wall size poster. -------------------- Dwight TEC 140 APO Meade LX200 14 OTA Orion 12.5 DOB Celestron C8+ Celestron 102AZ Losmandy G11 Argo Navis Canon 10d Canon 350D Hyperstar ST-4 Guider STV Guider Post Extras:       TheNebulai Pooh-Bah Reged: 01/26/07 Posts: 1139 Loc: New Jersey Re: Phoenix landing -- Best photo ever!!!
