HI all,

Sometimes you come across an object you've never noticed before, and it turns 
out to be remarkably beautiful and detailed.  Here is such an object, the 
splashy open cluster Mel 15 in Cass, bathed in the warm red and pink glow of 
hydrogen, and a totally surprising amount of dark nebulous silhouettes and 
interacting shock fronts.

I hope you enjoy this one,

Chris
