Again, another fantastic image! The contrast between dark and bright nebula is fantastic!

It's funny how perspective is flattened. In fact most of these stars are very far away from each other. But there is some deepness of view in the area of the nebula. Interesting... I even like it

Consider that the dark nebulae is in front of the stars and hide them.
Thank you
