Re: [APML] New image: Scutum star cloud

["Mike Cook, AF9Y" <mwcook@concentric.net>]

Jeff,

    This one really stands out from the crowd.  So many of the
widefield images of this region have a hazy appearance that your
image does not.  The stars look better, more distinct and have nice
color.  The emission areas are not bloated and overall there is
excellent dynamic range with color that looks right on.   I think
it is one of your best images.

   .... and the large version makes it possible to see it.
