I know this was shot just recently but i thought i would give it a go its such a lovely field of view with a diffuse neb and open cluster,could only get 50min on this in between clouds and moon taken with 350d 16x3min iso 400,will give it another shot when i get mt 40d cooled camera next week if the weather clears .

Nice shot mate
I ran Gradient Xterminator and tweaked Levels a bit. Nice blues in the star cluster nebulosity too.
Cant wait to see your cold camera shots.

Lovely object pairing Alan. I've not seen such a composition. No flats...not sure what you were thinking, they're mandatory for quality work...I'm an advocate for sky flats. Keep them coming.

Thanks Jase i did do flats but they were all uneven iam having a shocker at the moment with my light sources this is a must fix.
