Description

This shot was intended to be a 3-hour shot after shooting another deep sky target that had already set for the night.  I didn't want to waste the remaining night,  but all but 15 minutes were ruined by clouds.  I was about to ditch the whole project but discovered that star clusters look decent in short exposures, even in light-polluted skies.
