Bill it is hard to get a good image of 3114 because the background is so rich.
I like all 3 images. I think the 2nd shows the cluster best.

I have to agree with that last comment, I quite like then all as well, talk about some stars in that field, well done.

I like the 2nd one and your Mosaic of the Southern Cross and Eta C is stunning.

Bill,

I've been enjoying what you've been doing with a bunch of 15 second exposures.

I can't wait to try my own 200 f/2.8L out as well!
