NGC 4755 - Jewel box cluster

Hi guys and Gals,
It actually cleared up a little last night in the early hours..
Really great to see some stars again as the weather has been total c@#$ for ages. Tonight we might be lucky again on the east coast...
Well the seeing was horrid but the sky was dark even with the moon already high in the sky.
But that wasn`t going to stop me...
Image is 10 x 3-1/2 min with my 6" newt and modded 300D.
Guided with PHD at 1 sec intervals and stacked in DSS and finished in PS.
Stars a a bit bloated because of the bad seeing but hey it was clear... and I got a piccy!
Have to redo it in decent seeing.
Thanks for peeking!
cheers Gary
