Extremely deep NGC 3532 open cluster

Hi all
Tonight I set up the 6 inch, but meant to image the open cluster NGC 3532 without a nebula filter, but forgot to remove the UHCS. Turns out it was a good thing as I got nebulosity through the cluster.

6x10 mins 1 hour total time, ISO 200, UHCS filter, MPCC, 6 inch F3.6 Schmidt Newtonian Meade "Cometracker". Hand guided

Ive picked up a small galaxy near the bright bit of red nebula at top
Ambient temp only 6 degrees or so
