This is my Tarantula from tonight. My neighbour has huge trees which block this, one of my favourite DS objects along with Tucanae 47 so I had to quickly grab this shot before it disappeared for the night. It wasn't even quite dark when I had to shoot ..... I hate their bloody trees .... anybody got a match
