Just thought I'd post this from the images plus group with comments from the author of the above pic.
LOL, reminds me of Monty Python's Frenchman, "Now go away, or I
shall taunt you a second time!"

You think you were amazed, you should have seen the excitement when
I first started stretching the stack, it was positively <edit: removed slightly dodgy word DG>
Thanks to all my Irish friends!

Happy St. Patrick's,

&gt; I think your just doing that to taunt the rest of us with mortal
&gt; mounts;) That is amazing. I have to say, I'd sell both my
grannies
&gt; for a mount that could do that!!
&gt;
&gt; As an aside I posted a link to your M81 image on our bulletin
board.
&gt; You can read what everyone had to say here!
