Check it out, peeps.
Taken in broad daylight, on an absolutely clear Winter's day, and through a telescope's aperture.
The Moon was particularly visible, so my mate Dale took out his telescope, the same one I used to take the other Moon pic with the N73 last year during the lunar Eclipse.
It must've taken ten-odd attempts with the  P1i in macro mode to get this shot, also by dumbing down the light setting so that the reflecting glare didn't cause just a glowing white ball with no detail.
Not too shabby:

Taken today at High Beech in Epping Forest, Essex, with the P1i:

Thanks, guys. Ya, I've now uploaded it in the esato photo album, where it displays the phone model, ISO setting etc etc.

@ Hobbster,
Yup, that's the best that we could focus in on; it's a fairly basic telescope, so I was quite happy what it was able to pick up.
This is another through-the-telescope-aperture P1i shot of the Moon:
A bit darker and slightly less detailed than the previous one, but still not too shabby for what it is, IMO.

Hi hi.
I'm not from South Africa, nor have I been there. But I'd love to visit.
In regards to the Jojo thread, I do believe people were just joking. Well I hope they were, I certainly was. Jojo is a good guy and I certainly hope he hasn't left Esato for good. If anyone there was properly trying to insult him, then I hope they get what's coming. I just wanted to say I'm definitely NOT anti-Jojo and I was simply joking around.
Cheers guys!

Hi M-O, and welcome to the SA thread.
You're the second Kiwi to visit us (after carkitter), and it's great having some more Southern Hemisphere esato members around here.
M-O, yeah I think it's safe to say that we all know you weren't in particular. You've become quite a prominent and valued member and contributor on esato and there's never been any deliberate malice from you directed at any member.
Having a bit of a joke at his style of posting etc was all in good humour; I even had a smile, but it's some of the others in there that have repeatedly knocked and derided him through the years, specifically creating threads calling for him to be banned etc.
I also don't want this to become an all-out pro-Jojo thread which may lead to further friction between various parties (and would be detrimental to this thread) as I do not pretend to know all the facts and therefore can only go by what I know to be true.
To that extent, I feel we have said what was needed to, from our perspective, and hopefully we'll leave it at that.
Totally off-topic, that V630i pic of yours, of the 'Doubtful Sound', is keeewwwl!
Wow, the natural beauty of that area looks stunning.

Animator works fine on the P990i except for one really important function.Accessing the Menu Screen.It doesnt exist.So got a tip from Ipmart on how to work around the problem.When you finished your animation and want to save it,press down the jog-dial and close the flip at the same time.At first you'll think nothing has happened but after about 5 second Animator appears back on your screen with a MORE button on the bottom right hand side of the screen where you access the menu and 'save as' ect. Pain in the ass if you ask me. (how do these people figure out these things.Its quite amazing)

Shot for that, Hobbster. 
I see Linkboy has also been updated. (version 1.50)
Seriously thinking of getting the G900 towards the end of the year. Prefer the look of the P1i, though.

@ Krypts shame bro, but hopefully things only get better from here...
@ ama, man I like the g900 coz of the multiple input choices, but it would have been great if it was a walkman version!
