Excellent Geoffrey. 7 hours on an open cluster is keen! I enjoy the colours you've portrayed - very aesthetic. I agree with Roger that a mild application of USM would make the stars really pop and come to life in this image. It certainly doesn't need much however as clusters don't often lend themselves to sharpening well. Maybe perform the sharpening on a new layer to give you better control and really drop back the opacity of the layer to around 40%. Well done. Good to see you've come out of the wood work. I recall seeing some of your posts over at Yahoo and hope you'll show us some more.
