Hi, Shane, that's very interesting. I've photographed the brightest part of the shock front, but had little idea of the wider field. You've shown that there's a huge glowing elliptical or peanut shaped cloud with quite distinct margins occupying much of the image, centred on the bright cluster.

Nice.

(Had a look at your web site. Your non-astro-photos are superb!)

Best,
Mike
