Not only many congratulations Christopher on achieving a goal many will strive for yet never succeed, but the encouraging message I think a picture such as yours conveys.
Excellent and sympathetic processing is always a requirement, choosing a rarely imaged target as well, but this has less than an hour of integration time, I think we should all be encouraged by that.
Again well done and CS.
