M7 in Scorpius

Taken the same night as my M83 image posted earlier. I found this one surprisingly difficult to process with wall to wall stars and no real area of background sky to speak of. The more you bring out the Milky Way background the less obvious the cluster becomes. A bit of a balancing act.
