Well, I have been trying to figure out how to capture open clusters, so here is my latest attempt.
Seems like I am getting most of the stars and not blowing out the brightest ones.

That looks good Floyd,a beautiful cluster.

If I might suggest maybe a bit more saturation to bring out the star colors.Or maybe I just like to oversaturate wink

Nice cluster Floyd.

I tend to like a heavier satuation myself. Both of the images are nice though.
