OverallI really like this image and once again you provide a target not often imaged if at all.
Thanks for your kind words Paul. I left my collimation as it was for a while so it might have been off a bit. I only adjusted it now for my latest image of NGC 5792 and sure enough I then had to take new flats I may be getting another mirror soon so that's why I didn't bother to keep tweaking it to perfection in the meantime... but eventually I gave in. I'll just have to wait an see how my future images turn out now.

Thank you John, this one would certainly be interesting to see in IR, looking forward to that! The whole area is full of these obscure globulars. This view is actually only about 1/2 FOV away from my previous image of Barnard 86 which had Djorg 2 in it. Would be nice to fill in the gap some day
