@Aaron Schmidt: Thank you Aaron! I get excited every time I get to post. These types of photos are extremely time consuming, I'm lucky to capture a handful a year.

@Bahar: Thank you! Most all of these photos I could not see at all, until exposed for a couple of minutes. This makes it really hard to frame and even harder to focus. When looking through an eyepiece of a telescope most deep space objects look dim, blurry and colorless. Using a camera to collect photons that have been reduced to a few because of the vast distance thy have traveled is the only way to see the real beauty that these objects have to offer.
This is a spectacular view. Absolutely fantastic.
