My thanks to everyone who replied to my thread. I am much more knowlegeable of the nuances of film astrophotography. Now I understand "WHY FILM".

Identification Help Please

Definately a Sharp Shinned Hawk. When this guy is around, there are no other birds to be seen. I always find piles of Mourning Dove feathers in my back yard, as this bird plucks his prey prior to dining. They are also things of beauty when in pursuit of prey.

NASCAR Cheatin'

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

NASCAR is way over spec controlled. It should be treated more like marital infidelity, vis-a-vis Bill Clinton, where "eatin aint cheatin". Let the guys be limited by weight, wheelbase, tread width, engine displacement, and let em race. I want to see nitrous smoke and hear whining superchargers. Give me great big wings like the outlaw sprint cars have so there's more advertising space. I'm envisioning races won, not by seconds, but by minutes. NO MORE FORTY CAR CHOO=CHOO TRAINS! YEEEEHAAAAAAA!
