Olbers Paradox!

Just for fun I enhanced and lifted the contrast of the 6 hrs of Lum data collected for my Southern Virgo Deep Field.

The amount of Galactic Cirrus evident in the frame is quite freaky really - space is definitely not empty!

This would normally be considered an otherwise bland area of sky with a few galaxies scattered about....

Luminance Enhanced comparison (1.8deg X 1.8deg field)
