That's OK Mike - I know that you're just being facetious.
The reason I like semi-starless images is because I consider the nebulous region more important to my sense of wonder - it may not be yours (well - it obviously isn't). Fred's M8 blew me away when I first saw it and still does now. I like the beautiful shapes gas forms - not all the dotty junk in between - that's just me though.
