Wow Phil, I love the striations that this image shows so clearly. It always amazes me that there is so much beauty in nature (or space) that we are unaware of.......until it is viewed through a camera lens. Once again, thanks for all the work you do to clean these images up and present them to us in such a classy way. Right to the favorites folder on my hard drive. ;=)

Ditto, besides I have no favourites folder. I'm not that organized honestly speaking. I have several heaps of goodies I've found on the net. Maybe I'll organize them if I break a leg or something... ^_^

This gives me such an impression of speed! I've just been outside, looking at the milky way and counting myself lucky to see these things without light pollution getting in my way! It is great to appreciate the beauty one can't see in any other way. Thank you!

Hey thanks for picking my new desktop for me. Awesome image!
