Lighting uranus is best attempted with off camera flash in any case. And it's always best to angle the light directly into the black hole.

I am guessing it doesn't need to be hotshoe mounted as long as it's close. But how likely is it you're gonna use flash for the sort of photography this unit's intended for? (Outdoor trekking and astrophotography)?

I know it is wrong, but I will do this when talking about Pentax A lenses and Pentax M lenses. I'll call them Pentax A's or M's for brevity. As and Ms looks wrong.

I think even if we had a poll about, say, what colour kittens we liked best, some people would still get upset about the results!

The only time he made me laugh out loud was when he was talking about some switch or button which Nikon had moved to a different place on their latest model. He said sonething like:

Lol that's excellent Karl. I've often wondered what was going on with your avatar! It was even seedier than I imagined

As for mine, no it has nothing to do with the Village People, I had got the helmet from the visitor centre at Lava Beds National Monument in CA, and spent the afternoon exploring lava tubes with a shooting buddy. We were down there for many hours crawling through cracks, banging our heads on the cave roof, and cursing our fading torches / mobile phones which provided the only light
