May take me a day or two to come up with something else; one of my orchestras (Havant Chamber Orchestra) has a concert tomorrow night and I've been so busy with the admin and publicity stuff that I still need to practise the violin parts some more. I'd be happy for someone else to have a go.

That doesn't look like any Pleiades at all to me. After a bit of image searching I reckon it's an Spitzer infrared image of NGC 2174, the Monkey Head Nebula.
:doh: I'm busted! here's the real deal.

Yes, that's where I accidentally missed seeing the replica when I visited the MOSI last summer.
Well, yes ... that would have been a disappointment ... :oldfrown:

OK, quick one.

Where did I see a record-breaker which isn't a duck despite sounding like one?

According to his profile, 1oldman2 is from Montana. Cool, 1oldman2 :smile:

EDIT: Hey, look OCR is from Montana, too.

It's a small world,I'm from the western(mountain side of the state" and I believe OCR is from the "less mountainous" side. ( I posted a pic lately in the "Beautiful universe" thread of the lake I live on)

Oh yes, It's not much of a challenge, practically in his back yard. I suspect your familiar with my clue about the "native name" for the area.

Actually, I wasn't until I read the first line of the Wikipedia entry about the battle just now, but I see how it fits the clue.
