It almost looks as if a face is checking out the dark cloud in this photo. 8) I take it that the stars in this photo are that of IC 1590. It's a stunning photo at any rate; and worthy of a background picture. :) Here is another picture of Open Cluster IC 1590. http://www.skyfactory.org/deepskycatalogue/IC1590.html :)
