Thanks John It is very faint but I enjoy the challenge. I also like the reddish colour these obscured globulars have, you can really sense the amount of dust they are hiding behind!
I'm working on an image of Palomar 6 at the moment, but I need some more data I think. Waiting for the clouds to clear....
