With the moon about and still at 85% a cluster was the way to go. I'm still struggling with tilt or collimation in my system stars at the edges are poor. Still given the conditions and short integration time I think it came out rather well.

Lovely star colours. One of my favourite binocular objects.

Beautiful star colours and the dark nebulosity in the background gives it a magical almost 3D look. Very well done.

Lovely image - this is also my favourite binocular object. The dust lanes and excellent star colours really bring this asterism to life on your image.

Thanks Hals. Most of my attention when processing went on the stars.

Thanks Steve, this is a beautiful cluster that i feel should be a more popular target.

Thanks Mark, worked hard on the stars. I might start taking shorter exposures in the future for enhanced star colour as the blue cores are blown out.
