Description

For some reason, I could never get a decent shot of this stunning target...something always seemed to go wrong with tracking, or clouds, or something! So I am happy to finally have a nice image of this beautiful cluster and its gorgeous nebulosity!

Processing was tricky - while the cluster itself was well behaved, the background was tougher - it's a dusty region, but I think I need to redo my background modelization sample points.

Thanks for looking!
