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
