About half the time fiddling with wedge and scope adjustments, half the time with subs that didn't work and the third half (66 minutes here) that worked. And now clouds in the way. (of course during new moon!)

Saw this cluster on the charts near M13 when I imaged that the other night and thought I would try it. Centered around NGC 6050. I need to at least double exposure and try some color. This processing is only a stretch with no sharpening yet.

My goodness, look at all those 'faint fuzzies' you captured! Nice work. I particularly like the colliding galaxies.
