thanks tornado33,

I hadn't realised how deep the image was until I saw it stacked on the computer screen - then I sat their in amazement while I studied the dark nebula which I had not expected to see. Moreover I was quite impressed to see how the dark nebula seems to lay in the foreground, while the blue nebula from the running man seems further in the distance.

That's the great thing about this image - it showed me (us) something we have not necessarily seen previously - and I like that.

best regards and clear skies
