I sure hope you can get down there one day to experience seeing them up close and getting to touch them. In the meantime, looks like you've got quite a difficult job there there this summer....what, oh what, to focus on! Wonder if you can try some digiscoping this summer too with a small P&S camera, smartphone, or even your iPad?
