Stunning, both as an image and for what it IS! Ten light years is a mind-boggling thing – thinking about it as the distance light would travel in 10 years (at 186,000 miles a SECOND!) somehow makes me visualize it more vividly than a number of so-many trillion. And to image something this small at that magnification from a light-polluted environment is amazing in itself!

Nice detail, Dan. Excellent processing.
