Cheers Rod, it was a bit of a "Umm? hmmm? what shall I do..?" type image but I'm quite happy with how it came out

Good image of NGC 6144 Mike!

Resolved quite well and good to see the colours you've processed.
Makes me feel vindicated the way I processed my wider shot of Antares field.

Quite enjoyed hunting for the faint fuzzies in the background.

Your wide shot looks great!, Antares is so dominant, looks cool.

Been away. Nice shot Mike. Hard to get it to look good with all that yellow from Antares but I think you've done well there.

He he, I think "that's" what makes it look good ..otherwise would just be a small glob in the middle of nowhere

That's really beautiful Mike. Finally a close-up image of this overlooked globular
The golden haze in the foreground makes it really unique and I like the blues of the globular too - it may be due to Blue Stragglers, although I don't know how prominent they are in NGC 6144.

Oh, and +1!
