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
A massive star in Scorpius
Here is a close up showing the massive multiple star system
