Didn't bother with a photo, just enjoying yours

Thanks Mike.
You did well to see it naked eye. With a bit of smoke around I couldn't see it naked eye despite being in a dark location. I estimated the head was mag 6 or fainter with binoculars.
A friend couldn't see it from Shepherds Lookout (~ Bortle 5) with 30mm binoculars.
