Lovely image Bill, not often imaged either.

I like the contrast between the bright cluster stars and the gold background bedspread of milky way stars.

Wow Lovely photo Bill - the density of background stars reminds me of Olbers Paradox!

Cheers

Lovely image Bill, I realy enjoyed the full version the starry backdrop reminded me of Christmas again and those dark dust lanes really jump out at you.

A fine image.

Cheers

Cheers, folks. Thanks.

I've added a darker version that yields a binocular-style view.
