HI all,

This one has it all, extremely challenging to image,
dim, low surface brightness, excitingly close to the
Milkyway, almost never imaged by anyone, and yes -
resolution into super giant stars:

Id love to hear your comments on this unusual
object...

Thanks to Tom Polakis for bringing this one to my
attention!

Chris
