All memory cards have a finite life. I format them every time I re-use them, in the camera of course. This minimises any chance of error, but at the first sign of any glitch they are discarded and replaced. They are too fundamental to the imaging process to mess about.

Good luck Chris, although actually luck doesn't come into it - you deserve to win!

A bigger sensor unit might also mean a slightly more powerful SR mechanism. Not insurmountable I guess.

I suspect you could fit a K mount camera to the Mount Palomar telescope, perhaps that would be long enough for most purposes?

Why change from one mode to another? If you want to use Tv and need a wider aperture, just increase the shutter speed selected until the aperture is what you want. One operational step instead of several.As for stability, I do what most experienced users seem to do and use Tv mode set to 1/80 for snapping, switching to Av when I have a need for limited dof.

Don't forget that after capture using JPEG the option still exists to also record the RAW info - just one press of the AE-L button and the RAW file (which is still in the buffer)is recorded on the card.

It's a shame you didn't check first. The weekly competition is open to images of any age. The Monthly was introduced to give us all a project for the month, hence the restriction.
