I'd not go quite that far but they just don't feel right without stars. Like bacon without eggs. Gin without tonic.

Stars please. Starless loses all connection to astronomy IMO.
I see your point but I like to see the Nebula on its own just for interest of what is there. I think I like the stars more on an image I would print etc.
Thats a cracker! Great colours and detail
I too like some stars with my nebula!
Thanks 
Wonderful image, I prefer the one with stars but that's just me. Hope you get more clear sky so we get more images like these !
Thanks Spyderbench - I really wish I lived somewhere with a better climate!
