Hi Marcus, thank you! It is my favourite open cluster.

Only observation which is only apparent on original size version only is some stars (medium brightness ones) seem to have a square or diamond shaped halo. I find I get this when I push deconvoltution or minimum filter just that little bit too much. But cant say for sure in this image.

Happy easter back to you.
Thanks, CV! I will look into the star shape suggestion, although there was little in the way of decon or min filter.

Hi Darrin, cheers. The great thing about it is the star colours are there all on its own. I just give them a little bit of saturation to enhance it a bit. I used to struggle with the other scope I had, however have now realized that it wasn't me at all, it may actually have been the optics.
