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 ? |
Yes - I have. Not one of my best IR images but it does show a lot of stars.
