Guys, I'm not really into hunting... but I do remember once watching a show, in which they show this "HUNTER WANNABE" with High-Tech bow & arrows...

I saw him going after a wild goat, which ran into a fence and found himself cornered against it... then I saw "the hunter" shoot at him from about 20-25 feet away... he must have shot at least 4 arrows into the poor animal before the animal fell into the ground, still alive... 8O (man, that show pissed me off!)

I'm sorry, but that bastard (the hunter) needs to get a good kick in the a** and maybe an arrow shoved deep "in there" too... :C

I believe in hunting for food, but not in hunting for sport and leaving the dead animal laying there... or making them suffer for any extended period of time... it is simply inhumane...

Apologies about my rant, but had to let it out... :S
I feel better now... let's go back to our regular programming.

Well done Joe, specially under your conditions... good amount of detail captured in your shot.
In a month (or two) things should get better as far as imaging M42... wink

Keep it up, and thanks for sharing!

Another dark nebula - with a soft, chewy center!

Fantastic shot Thomas!
I can understand when you say that processing these shots gets tricky... as the CLOUD becomes the dark area in the picture, and not the background.

Thanks for sharing, and clear skies! 8)
