This is the best one I've ever seen and I've seen a few.

That's my new screensaver sorted then !!

This image helps me understand what I am seeing through my scope. I noticed how the strike of brightest light from it in my EP seemed to be not exactly a straight line, but curved down from the nucleus. I can see now that it follows the curvature of the brightest part of the galaxy's interior. The fuzzy halo light that I was seeing also appears not to be part of the bulk of the galaxy, but takes on a more ethereal nature - even more so than appeared in my scope.

It's a fantastic image
