Louie,
The link worked fine for me - must be fixed...

I think of Omega Centauri and I think summer is coming. You know, there are some theories that OC is a small galaxy stripped by its close encounter with the Milky Way Galaxy.

Mike,
Great image. I agree with Richard's suggestion on the flat topped stars - I think it would enhance the image.
