Very nice wide field image. Thanks for posting.

Oh, very nice photo. I like the contrast between the red of the nebula and the stars in the cluster. I've only just become aware of these objects as potentials for imaging. In fact only today I was looking at them on stelarium to see if I could fit them in to my 450D in one shot. Your image has inspired me further. I just need clear skies.
