Gee thats a deep starfield. Well done. Is that a dark nebula at lower left? It sure looks like one there blocking some of the distant stars.

I saw that object for the first time about 4 weeks ago. Golly she is a pretty one. When the deep star field is removed, it makes a very marked triangle / christmas tree shape, with a lovely orange/blue double star at the base.

It is a besutiful visual, as well as photographic object.

Lovely shot, by the way!

Thanks for your comments...
I've attached another image which is a crop of the cluster's core region. The image is 100% resolution (meaning I haven't reduced it to 33% of its original size as usual). However the jpeg file itself is low resolution to fit it on the IIS post.

cheers
