Ptolemy's Cluster

OK, this was fun! 13 x 5 minutes on M7 last night, and just a staggering number of background stars to hide the noise from a slight lack of exposures. There's also some other hidden gems, including the globular cluster NGC6453, dark nebula Barnard 287, scattered open cluster Trumpler 30 and little blue planetary nebula Hoffleit 2-1.

Hope you enjoy the view.
