What on Earth were they thinking?

They weren't thinking too much, that's for sure.

I think a bit of tounge in cheek there Omaroo I might be the only one that thinks this is not that big a deal to me who cares if they cloned out a few stars.

As long as the photographer gets the credit due I have no problem with it.

Chris's got the be the biggest Apple fanboy around here which is what makes his reply funny.

Slow news day if this makes it to any media... The whole world is photoshopped these days.

Typical apple, want to control everything, first marketing, their hardware, OS & storage now the universe... I can see it now.... iSpace, download the missing bits (at a fee of course) ...

Apple briefly overshadowed ExxonMobil the other day as the world's most valuable publicly-listed company. I guess that if Exxon can change a few beachfronts, Apple can modify a galaxy or two.

@Multiweb - "Fanboy" I object to, as it describes someone with a blind love for something. I know why I prefer my platform for publishing, photography, graphics and music. I'll let it ride this time...

This whole affair is probably the reason Southern Stars is holding back SkySafari for Mac

Cheers

Let the person here who shoots on film & has never photoshopped anything throw the first stone, love my apple products. ,,shame on us for not picking it up

Go Apple, Go! There are too many stars in the Universe anyway.

more pleasing to the eye by removing a few stars
lets remove our star in pics and see what happens
c'mon photoshoppers get to it

Should have chosen my words better. Replace by 'uber geek'.

I'm being invaded by Apple at home. Leaks... mostly from the kids.

No issue there.

Now... "nerd" is another I'm not partikalarrrly fond of...

Just what you would expect from apple....stars aren't cheap you know especially when they have to meet stringent "istar" criteria. If you want them all its going to cost you big and you will have to have an itunes account to get the revised igalaxy version plus the required iviewer so you can actually see it. It will only take you 8 ihours to install after you ijump through all the ihoops necessary to ensure total icontrol over your every move.
