M46 in Puppis

Hi
The clouds cleared in Sydney last night so I got in 40mins of M46. Also tried out the new Astronomik CLS CCD filter and the field flattener on the ED80

Not sure if the stars in the cluster should be as blue as this or if this is an artefact of the new filter.

Happy with the flattener though.

This is a pretty low res image. Comments welcome

PS: Looks to also be a small PN (Very faint) to the right of the main PN and close to the centre of the field. Anys clues on what it is?

Thanks
Dan
