Thanks Jase! I did want to capture some Ha on this one, but then I discovered the little group containing 6770 and my attention was quickly diverted.
The colour balance on the first seems wrong, even though the latter image doesn't seem to look like the others I've seen. Not sure why that is, maybe the balance is somewhere in between.

Thanks Aidan! This is definitely a candidate for a deep field, there's some cool stuff going on. To do it well I think you need better skies/skill than me to keep all those stars nice and small so that you can push it more to bring out those details.
