Description

My wife and I are moving my son (Kian) into his "big boy" room this spring! He's outgrown his crib and is ready for a "big boy" bed. As part of the move, my wife thought it would be a good idea to add some pictures and posters to his walls. When I heard that I thought it would be a good idea to make him a nice astrophoto poster. I thought for a bit on what the best object would be for such a distinguished place on his wall and came up with the horsehead and flame nebulae! These are hands down some of the most beautiful, intricate, and astounding nebulae that I know of and they just so happen to fill my entire frame!

I think I picked a winner because upon showing it to Kian he smiled and pointed and said "horsey"

I'm interested in everyone's thoughts! Good enough to post in his room? What improvements should I make?
