Incidintally, the web site that gave me the idea was, of course, aristarchus'. I didn't know he also belonged to this pack.

So, what's next?
Here's one I was hoping you guys could answer for me, I don't know the answer: How much does the brightness of the Milky Way vary, across its image? I'm not even sure how to quantize that, so make something up--if you just use same-size areas at a certain level, I'd imagine a lot of the variance would be attributed to individual bright stars, but I don't know really.
