And here is IC349

Here is a full size crop of the brightest areas. Nice little globules floating around in this baby.
Unfortunatley I had to reduce the quality of the image somewhat with Jpeg compression to get it to fit the 500k limit.

I think that your eyepieces would also benefit from my Image Clarifier which promises to end all the atmospheric induced distortions that so hamper the high power views that everyone demands these days. In fact it will fix all optical aberrations normally found on cheap mass produced optics, so that even your $29.95 Walmart special high power 40mm imported refractor can reach 600x without breaking a sweat and show you the views that are promised you on the side of the box in which these magnificent optics are packaged.

Do not despair, the image clarifier will come to a drugstore near you any day now, as soon as the FCC, FAA, Dept of Agriculture, Tobacco&Firearms, etc. have finished examining this product and deem it safe for public consumption. We have an entire shipload of product just waiting on the docks in Los Angeles, so call now 888-555-1234, operators are standing by to receive your order. If you live in Seeing Zone 5, order now. Those in Seeing Zone 4 can call at 11 AM local time, Seeing Zone 3 call at 12:00 noon. Those in Seeing Zone 2 and 1, sorry, you are out of luck - take up another hobby such as bull riding or lawn mower racing.

Edible eyepiece? Best idea I've heard yet. What, no pot flavors?

I gather it arrived safely

P.S. make sure you put a coat on it so it doesn't get cold

You're having too much fun!
