see this close up

From close up it would be less than interesting, just a faint haze in the sky everywhere. Especially, little color: these astronomy images are all processed and colors are kind of unreal. Look at the Andromeda Galaxy: it's just a patch of fog, a cotton ball for color. That's what most all of this stuff actually looks like.
