I finally got some 60 second exposure data for the core. It is still bright but less burnt out. So many stars it is hard to process the halo and not burn out the core - even at 60 seconds!!!

I think it is better.

Tom,

That looks great!The shorter exposures did much to resolve into the core.
The variety of star colors along with the shear number of them, topped of with the massive globular make this a very pretty image to look at.
