Rick,

A very nice shot. It looks like a piece of jewelry.

Your discussion on imaging and seeing is also very interesting. I've only tried looking at galaxies a few times when I've been at a dark site. It is exciting, but mostly an intellectual exercise as you said.

And I am of the opinion that the images we take don't represent what the objects "look" like because they can't really be seen.
