Description

This cluster is to me one of the most attractive ones, with beautiful golden hue of its members and almost globular-like concentration of stars.  I've made some attempts at it over the last couple of seasons but nothing serious ever came out of it. Nevertheless it was on the list and I knew I was going to after it at some point.  

To pick up and preserve as much color information as possible I've kept strictly to RGB filters, not my usual LRGB acquisition.  I was after the color first, then the Ha background which was blended using 2 gradient maps.
