Here are images of M52 and M23. I struggled with some clouds and retook some data under a first quarter moon on M23. M52 mostly survived the clouds. I also used some earlier data on M52 that was more of a close up - it helped to resolve the stars better. This is a technique Rob Gendler has used in the past. Images and details are here:
