Superb image.

You've got a glob on the left, an open cluster on the right, the main object in the middle and that nice yellow bright star up top. Wonderful framing and composition and a nice range of colours.

That's superb, Justin! Don't forget poor ol' NGC 1763 ;)

I think this target is actually more attractive with an unmodded spectrum because you get the lovely blue nebs that would otherwise be washed out by the Ha.

Yes, I guess that's one advantage of an unmodded DSLR.
