I had a hell of a time trying to remove the gradients even with the not so perfect flats I took.

I am still experimenting with what works at my location. Might have to look up when the IISAC is on this year and get some dark sky light years under my belt.....

Looks like a nice little cluster to observe
By next Cambroon night, it should be quite a good hight at about 22:00.
Cheers
