Description

Thumbnail cuts off most of the dark nebula--click on full view to see the whole thing.  In this wide field shot, the depth is evident as  foreground stars, dusty dark nebula,  and Ghost Box Cluster all have to be looked past to see the vastly-distant Fireworks Galaxy.  Will soon post a much closer view with my 0.7 FR on the Edge HD 8" for comparison.
