M7 Ptolemy Cluster (& a cast of billions)

This is an incredibly busy region in Scorpius, and to be honest I'm not sure which is more interesting: the actual open cluster M7, the zillions of stars that create an incredible backdrop, or some intriguing dusty tendrils snaking through the view. I had a hard time deciding how to present all that together but hopefully have struck a pleasing balance!

Comments, critique welcome. Once again the IIS version doesn't do it any justice so the link is highly recommended.
