Far out! Are those deep space objects clusters of stars or what?

Thanks Mike, for the most part the Nebula areas are star forming areas, this one, which is next to the Flaming Star, a more famous one is an active star forming area of various gas clouds if you will…

Wow Dan, this is really cool. I’m still amazed you can get these shots here in town. Well done.

Tadpoles… that’s a great name for them. Another amazing “backyard” image Dan. Another nice alternative for me would be the left side cropped off; it tends to drag my eye to the edge of the image and away from the tadpoles.
