The orientation always reminds me of a juggling man who is juggling those stars (two in the air on the left and he's just dropped three on the right)

I could never figure out why it was called the running man - UNTIL I turned my head to the side and went......aaaaaaah OK.

Great pic, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Chris.

Most deep sky objects have names which have little or no resemblance to the actual object. Atleast this one actually looks like its given name.

LOL a juggling man.... could work.

It really smooths out the image. The more the better in this case.

I wasn't sure which way looked more like a running man but the way you have it looks right to me. You could also say the way I have looks correct as well.

I guess the correct way is what you can make out of it.

Thanks.
