A massive star in Scorpius

I finished my run for the night on my current mega data project (yes, yes...believe it or not...I had to go for one eventually huh? ) and not wanting to waste any time doing a meridian flip I had a 3hr window before sunup soooo here is a happy snap of NGC 6357 and its massive star cluster Pismis 24 in Scorpio

This is an HaRGB image
