Must have been a bit bored under the clouds....

At the same URL is a roll-over image of the Trapezium via Hubble and my somewhat smaller earth-bound Ritchey.

To be fair, there are decidedly higher resolution HST images of the trap, making my stars look like amateur-amoebic-blobs, but this I/R one shows more background stars.

I'd be interested to know: have any IIS members have imaged this region in NIR ?
