Around 90 minutes in each RGB filters plus 90 mins Ha to enchance the red channel. RGBs were 1 min each and Ha 3 mins (had 5 mins and 1 min luminance but they were not that useful). Moon was a problem at the time.

Two versions available: a nice final crop and a larger FOV with some interesting features! Enjoy!

That's very fine! With only 2 percent of the collecting area that we threw at it (https://photos.smugmug.com/Category/Clusters/i-R2r5kmz/0/6b8d60db/O/I%20NGC%203532%20Sand%20Cluster%20H a%205hrs%20RGB%2026%20mins%20each%2 04096.jpg), you've got the first hints of the surrounding nebulosity.

We find open clusters with a good mix of red giants in them very beautiful, and you've brought that out here.
