Thanks guys. As always I appreciate your comments. I may be tweaking this image a bit over the next few days. If I come up with anything startlingly different I'll post it again.

Thanks Roger. The data is surprisingly easy to process once you understand the filters used.

Thanks Josh. Hopefully a wider field version is coming which will show even more.
