Got a new toy today.

Have been taking it for a test. I got it mainly for solar and lunar work, but with deep sky in mind for smaller objects or deep field with a focal reducer (that I have yet to purchase). Seeing was fairly mushy tonight, too poor for planets. Anyway, what do you guys think? This is straight through the scope at prime focus. A little cluster I've wanted to image for a while, but the nearby prawn nebula has distracted me in the past. It seems to frame well with nearby stars in Scorpius.
Acquisition details: Skywatcher black diamond ED100 at F9, 33 x 1 minute subs at ISO 1600, Pentax K-x, stacked in DSS, processed in Photoshop. Biggerer in Astrobin.
