Hi Chuck Looks like a fun contest but if at all possible, I'd like to be a judge and not an entrant. While you all are waiting for the ZL, we've had it for a good 6 weeks already and even some of our pro astronomer friends that have seen it for the 1st time are amazed. Best advise is to find a DARK location w/ some scenic value that will show up in the photo, time exposures of 3 to 7 minutes at ISO 400-800 at F2.8-5.6 have worked for me in the past. I've done guided and tripod only exposures and combos of both. Anyway, it's a good reason to get out and enjoy the early evening and maybe do some beautiful images of the Zodiacal Light. Chuck -- what about a Gegenschein and Kordylewski Cloud photo contest next?? Aloha from grey, cool (66ยบ) and windy Maui Rob
