The shape of the Milky Way disc in this image makes me think of a certain tool from Australia. Take a look at the video and you'll perhaps get what I mean. ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Re: APOD: Arp 286: Trio in Virgo (2016 Jul 06)
Yeah, a lovely trio of galaxies. Where each galaxy has its kind of blue content. How good can it then be I just started listening to Rhapsody in Blue :) , by George Gershwin (at i.e. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFHdRkeEnpM ), on the public Swedish radio. This radio is streaming classic music aro...

Re: APOD: Dark Nebulas across Taurus (2016 Mar 14)
Very impressive image of what I might otherwise have called an unremarkable little patch of sky. Indeed, I found it a bit tricky to locate and orient on a star map. North is to the right. The APOD is nestled North of the Hyades (off image to the left) and East of the Pleiades (off image below). The...
