I can't suppress 2 other thoughts:

1. Comparing to Hubble may become so "2013" if James Webb ever gets into service (assuming IR images actually do compete with Hubble)

2. I'm waiting for Mike to start identifying animals all along the bottom edge of that hubble images
Thanks Rob... but I suspect many are thinking this was a serious processing effort by yours truly.. it was really intended as more of a novelty...that surprised me by showing structures in that part to the sky (some might start seeing a Dragon's gonads ) that had not really been highlighted previously.

Agreed, the RCOS needs some more use ..while the RHA is cool....as Fred would often say, too wussy.
