Hi all. Here is another cluster that I imaged from my back yard a few days ago. It has a really nice orange star (upper right corner). The star colors were calibrated for G2V using Don Goldman's RGB Calculator.

A larger version (wider filed), and some of my other photos, can be seen at the following link.

Cheers,
Tyler

Great job Tyler. I have that same orange star in my M36 image, taken with a Nikon D70, too. We even had the same orientation. What scope were you using? I'm seeing some blue haloing around the brigter stars.
