Brian, Came to your site because of APOD photo, of course! Congratulations, dude! Re this photo, it's kind of refreshing to see an image that's reminiscent of what one might see through the eyepiece of a telescope. Definitely gives one a sense of the stellar island! Pictures like this always make me think of the cantina episode in the original Star Wars. I am sure there are folks out there listening to their equivalent of Patsy Cline! Glenn
