I may be wrong but I think that if you're talking "universe" and not just our "clumped galaxy" I think that a random line is more likely to never "hit" a star.
Although there are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on the Earth, there is MUCH more empty space !
If you remember the scientist that said different please let me know. I'd like to read what he has to say.

For the universe is so expansive, that there is an infinite possibility of that line hitting a star.
I like this, especially that you've captured this cluster so well, but I'd rather have the focal point off center. |

Very nicely done! Was just reading the comments, you can tell all of us astro-geeks who recognized this as M13 LOL!
I would love to have a Tak mount, I have an Astro-Physics refractor but the clock drive on my mount doesn't work!!
Again, a great effort |

| Somebody's got a very nice 10" telescope! M13 I'm guessing. I doubt this will be appreciated by the dpc crowd for this amazing resolution, but I appreciate it, very very well done. |

| The centering of the subject really doesn't work for me here. It doesn't need that position to draw interest and it removes focus from any other less bright, but interesting, patterns in the sky. |

| Nice job here. I feel as if all the stars, and myself, are moving towards the cluster. |

| The shot is really nicely contrasted with not a lot of noise, the cluster of stars are nicely defined and bright. |
