M7 Open cluster

[vash]

Been a little while since I had the scope out but managed perfect plop down alignment, spot on the pole some how so no drift required (still did though). It was also very cold and i had several layers on, I'm thinking of investing in a timer remote along with my next camera.

I don't think I'm completely happy with the processing but I'll give it another go in a while. I did however run the final image through DSS to find out how many stars I captured, it turned back 14064 Stars, A new record for me:D.

There is also a couple of small planetary nebulae floating around as well as the dark ones too.
well, enjoy
