Great picture of the gauzy or reticulated veil of dark dust lanes surrounding NGC 4753's Galactic Core! (Brady's discription works too.) In the imagination it looks like:
A glowing galactic core caught in a giant fishing net!
Creamy Golden Butter draining in a collander!
Great picture today M.C.! Thanks!

It is surprising to me that any galaxy looks perfect.
Why? Galaxies are supposedly 200 million light years across. The light from the closest part of the galaxy would reach the earth 200 million years before the farthest part of that galaxy. I would expect a lot of movement in that 200 million years.
