Description

Turned the volume to 11 on this one, simply because the subject matter kind of asks for it.  My first image/mosaic of this area with the Nikon 200 f2 lens.  

I find it amazing the nature arranges itself to put so many spectacular DSOs - with such contract colours - so close in the sky.
