Hi Scott,
Nice shot, looks clear and sharp. Was this through a powermate or a barlow?

I used a shortie 2X barlow. I tried to use a 4X Powermate, but I could bring it to focus. I figured it was because I also has a diagonal on the scope and I was just too far out. I was in a hurry so I didn't experiment with the powermate.

Done with Photoshop CS2, very easy to do once you match up the tonal ranges.
