Thanks Stuart. There are heaps of these little areas all over the region, some that are known and some that are not. Thought I might try looking around a bit before imaging one or two of the more well known objects.

I can see the Wolf too but I see it as a landing Eagle

Hmmm maybe, I thought the muzzle shape gave it the wolf look.

That cluster is a little bit away from the dark tower. I found it last night with Rob Gendlers site which has the RA and DEC of the Dark Tower. That is on my list of hits this year if the sky will stay clear enough for us in SA.
