Agree Peter that it is a beautiful part of the night sky, and I am very fortunate that it actually passes through the zenith (or close enough) from my imaging location. Has been the perfect time of year for this target too with almost equal imaging time available on either side of the meridian.

Saturation is really down to how you like it....getting good contrast without clipping the shadows or highlights but still showing key detail to me is important, then the saturation will happen without too much effort. There's a fine balance between what looks washed out and flat to something that has been hit by a sledgehammer....
