Fantastic shots Rob!  Outstanding Mallincam work!  If you haven't 
already, how about when you have a chance, describing your improvements 
made to any of your gear. Perhaps lessons learned, problems discovered 
and solutions found, with your Mallincam setup, etc. When you get a 
extra minute between the wife, scouts, public outreach, working on the 
website, giving presentations and being an all around busy guy that is.
