Even though Moon was around managed to get this. The longer exposures were taken after Moonset.

Details
Canon 5DH, 100ED with AP FR/FF. Hutech LPR filter. seven doublings of exposure from 30s at an ISO of 100 to 4 min at an ISO of 800,five exposures for each level. Ten exposures for last two sets. The fridge was used and the temperature inside was -7.5 C. ICNR on.
Images plus for conversion from RAW to TIFFand correction for flats. RegiStar for stacking and alignment. EasyHDR used to produce final image.

Could be a bit too much blue but I like it. I hope you all do too. I am quite new at clusters. Does anyone know what the small blue cluster is designated as?
