Superb rendition of this particularly dusty patch of sky Rick, very nicely done! The IFN is looking stunning here, and the full resolution image is a delight to surf around in. Incredible how the fainter galaxies on the right side are almost drowned out by the dust.
I suppose the curious small star spikes are due to the ccd microlenses. I recall seeing a similar effect in some of my own, and others', deep images.
Thanks for the impressive view!
