Just a quick update ...

I really don't have anything to say. I went to the National Press Club with my co-worker (who is a member) last night and then to Larry's Lounge. I again went to LL tonight. We are on the cusp of the Independence Day holiday weekend.

Interstellar dust about 500 light years away and spanning approximately 8 light years obscures the light from more distant stars at the edge of the Southern Hemisphere constellation Corona Australis (the Southern Crown).

On the upper right is the far more distant (~29,000 light year) globular cluster NGC 6723 located in the constellation Sagittarius -- and thus in the direction of the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. This was the June 27, 2011 APOD.
