Nice shot. I can't see that target from my home but your photo brings to mind good memories of trips to the WSP. That cluster is simply amazing to look at in a big scope. Your photo shows it well.

Man, this is truly awesome-great processing and optics. One of the most impressive clusters, even visible at dusk or twilight down south.
