Thanks Sil. I think it looks a lot like the Gem Cluster,[ also known as The Pendant Cluster] which I think is equally beautiful. I have attached an image of the Gem for comparison.
Wavytone won't like it because it was also done with the purpose of showing many field stars. I originally did both to demonstrate to newbies that although
when viewed with the naked eye [or even with a small scope] these clusters seem to reside in sparse areas of the sky, in reality there are countless
stars there.
