Antares region from Texas
So here is what maybe should have been on the calendar instead of the one we have there now....
I took this while on vacation last week. T3i on the Astrotrac 30x5min @ISO800 processed in Images Plus. I will tell more about my Texas experience Saturday night.

Re: Antares region from Texas
Beautiful image Tom, you captured the nebulosity very well. I didn't know there was so much dark nebula and dust in that area. Nice work!

Wow, Tom, absolutely stunning. Congratulations!
Sorry I won't be able to hear your talk on Saturday (Boy Scout camping/hiking trip w/my son this weekend), but hope to hear about it some other time.
