I thought it was and imagine the pic in a bit more populated region.

Great mosaic tho.

Cheers Kev.
Yes Kev, they chose an empty spot in Fornax. They wanted to see what was in fairly empty space.

Thanks Leon.

Here is a comparison of the area (their original and my 12x mosaic) against the size of the Moon. The large image (thier original 'Ultra') shows what is in the small rectangle on the Moon.

Now that you can see 10,000+ galaxies compared to the size of the Moon (or 100,000 in the 12x image) imagine the whole sky!!!!!!
