Then and only then will you know about glare and rampage grasshopper! THAT will teach you patience! Snaring any of these three PNe will make NGC 6453 (the globular) look like a walk in the park.

Yes, Sensei, M7 is looking better all the time!

I see I have much to learn, still, Sensei. I ask you be patient with me, .

Your wisdom is inspiring, oh noble, Observologist One. I shall seek higher enlightenment with better charts.
