Yes, he would, wouldn't he? ;-)))
Can't let Bill Down so here goes: 
I'm into fluorescent minerals, a small subset of mineralogy which is a
subset of mineralogy which definitely is a subset of geology which obeys the
laws of physics that govern astronomy which is a subset of cosmology which,
in turn, is a small paragraph in the Bible.

The photo is absolutely stunning...
I see that a lot of hobby-astronomers are using Canon digital cameras...
Maybe I need to go there too?

Cheers
