Hi Jim, nice shot!
Another neat area, Cygnus is full of this kind of nebula. I have looked at a few spots that I would like to capture. Not sure it will be this year, but I will spend some more time in that area.

The "Wall" is fantastic. My daughter just made it the background for our computer!

Rod, Floyd,
Thanks for the comments. Rod, some of the Astro pics taken nowadays make for some neat desktop wallpaper. I am glad you chose to use one of mine.
