Anyway, the image is a composite of several Hubble images and covers an area of the sky not much bigger than the full moon. For full details of the story behind the picture check out the Hubble news release.
The image below shows the location of the imaged part of the sky.

This image is just a small part of the full image which is probably best explored using the zoomable version on the Hubblesite.
