Hi Folks,
Here is what was meant to be a quick image of an open cluster I had not imaged before. Clouds came... RGB's rescheduled for another night. Then some weird gradients in the Red. Anyway I finally got it done. Here it is:

This was done with my C8 at f/3.7 (with a Meade 0.33x reducer) and Artemis285

Nice save, Jim! Are the star haloes from the gathering clouds?
