M7

With a 20% moon and -3.5C temp I decided to give M7 a go.

Not particularly exotic but it brings back memories of when I was 10yrs old with my first telescope.

RGB 90mins. No Lum added at this stage. Seeing was quite stable.

Nice colourful shot Dave. Lucky you got good conditions. I believe the weather in NZ is pretty ugly at the moment.

We have had some snow down here in the south. Good for the skiers! Clear frosty nights lined up now for the next few days. A pity I couldn't get rid of that moon!

It has come up quite nicely. Sandy background of stars with some vibrant blue cluster stars. What more could you ask for?

The very few open clusters I've done, I've tended to process them to just show the cluster stars as isolated blinding jewels against blackness.

You've taken a completely different tack, showing them in context. And from your image one gets some sense of how a rare and short-lived, bright blue OB cluster star can be ten thousand times more luminous than the billions of far longer lived run of the mill faint orange fellows in the background.
