We have all heard of the Horse Head Nebular ............ Well this one is better,you get the whole horse! Appaloosa,I think.

I was reducing the clutter on a couple of very noisy images from last night and the outline of a prancing horse started to appear (well,to me anyway) so I just left the area enclosed by the stars 'noisy' and darkened the periphery.

It has so got a saddle,LB!

The 'U' shape of stars in the middle is the saddle. Not only that but it must be a circus horse cos it's wearing a plume.
