Wonderful image. It has this 3D feel to it. The tendrils draw you to
the powerhouse in the centre of it.

Obviously, a fair bit of backroom work went into creating this image.
Thanks for sharing.

I sugest that you remove the corrector plate and wipe the inside of the
scope with a high quality soap/insecticide such as CN.
