Open clusters

It's funny how few good images of open clusters get posted. Given how impressive these can be at the eyepiece, it seems hard to translate this over to images.

I've recently tried M6,M7, and M47. I quite like this M7, but that's mainly because of the dark nebulosity to the right. I don quite know how to present/process them to good effect.

[Edit: added N6 and NGC6268]
