Skywatcher,
I don't normally comment on photos, but I've got to say that of all the ones posted on here of the B2's, I think yours is the one that captures "The Spirit of the arrival" the best.

Not sure what equipment you use - but I'm betting it wasn't the latest super dooper £5K Canon 1Dxyz with a £5K L lens. Just goes to show that a bit of imagination does more to improve your photography than spending squillions on the latest gear. (Or could just be luck I suppose :P )

Anyway, very well done.
