This just 6x20'. I was waiting for something else to come up over the trees. I have to admit I do like this nebula and cluster, though. The cluster's stars appear in loops or banks of stars moving away from a roughly central point. I'd bet this is a leftover from some facet of the cluster's formation. I also like the tadpoles, of course. And I enjoy thinking how much hydrogen (and nitrogen, perhaps) is glowing here, certainly more than I can frame with this system.
