One comment I forgot to reply to - Lester, there have been ground based images taken of the area by the pro observatories, but I have only seen wide field ones, not a serious attempt at reproducing the image. Interesting.
I suspect they are out there, just not easily found on the web.
There has been quite a bit of radio observation performed from ground based equipment of the area I believe, that was one thing I found.
I suspect that with budgets and priorities and all that, it's hard to justify a pro setup spending time imaging a FOV that hubble has already done better than they could anyway, where as radio is different.
