what a wonderful image Mike - bravo. As for "respecting the light", couldn't agree more - it took millions of years to get here and we should have the courtesy to allow it to tell it's own story, not impose our own view . Maybe we need Zen astronomy ???

This hobby sure is heading in an interesting direction with high res and sensitivity being available from smaller scopes. regards Ray
