WOW!! How did you ever manage to spot that? Amazing pic of a big snake, well done
Had a look at you shots before, but didnt notice the snake ... does F.B.S stand for what I think it stands for : )

Well captured Chris,

You must have the eye of an eagle to have spotted it.
Well done

Regards
Trevor

Chris,

So, you captured the Large Magellanic Cloud in the tombstone shot, and, here, you've caught the Snake Nebula. You're doing well.

That's just scary, if you ask me. I'm not much of a spider and/or snake person.

Regards,
Humayun
