Great shot Brenton, personally I like seeing the Pleiades looking like an Angel ie crucifix standing up, or else cropped at a slight angle, ala how the southern Cross is usually depicted but totally dealers choice

How you orient your images for maximum effect, can mean the difference between stardom and nobody notices. Case in point, back in early 2011 I took a picture of the nebulosity surrounding the otherwise boringly named NGC 6188 in Ara. I was using my then brand new 12" F3.8 astrograph Newtonian, coupled to my big 16803 FLI CCD camera, which together gave a field that I could also squeeze in the planetary nebula NGC 6164, a massive star and associated nebula bubble in Norma. Anyway, during processing I was rotating the field different ways, trying to establish which way looked best to my eye and sought the assistance and opinion of my lovely wife Angela, for her non astronomical eye for interior decorating. Well, after showing her different orientations she said "go back", so I did, then after a bit of a pause she said hmmm? "go back again...yeah that way, it looks like two dragons fighting...and wait, yeah, they are fighting over that magic pearl in the corner!" to which I exclaimed, "...hell yeah, it does too, you're a genius!" So I tweaked that a tad to "The fighting dragons of Ara" since it was in the constellation of Ara. I decided to enter it in the Royal Observatory Greenwich, Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition in 2011, where miraculously it received 3rd place in the Stars and Nebula category and was subsequently displayed at ROG and appeared all over the internet as a result
Sooo, to this day, almost everyone refers to this nebula as
"The Fighting Dragons of Ara"....which will likely propogate down through the ages, keeping the discerning company of other ageless monikers, like "The Horsehead Nebula", "The Silver Dollar Galaxy" and "The Trifid Nebula" et al... and all thanks, to my lovely wife's discerning eye
Cool huh? she's a clever duck
