ahh, Gems and Jewlery for loved ones is what needs to be done versus spending all those $ on ourselves and gear! Great reminder! Nice Work!

I actually regret not buying one of the RF lenses I've been contemplating for quite some time now... and a couple of telescopes - instead of making this ring.  This is perhaps the last of these projects in a while for me.  I need to concentrate on other priorities although more gear might be just as equally self indulgent.

But it was good to test out the Star Filter again.  I tested it recently whilst photographing a comet earlier this year and the planet Venus was bright enough to trigger some nice diffraction spikes just before it dropped below the horizon.  I had set up a larger system to photograph the comet but wanted to get some wide-field shots with the EOS M6 and my iPhone, which worked out fine.
