That's gorgeous. This wide field and sharp image really shows the strength of a DSLR.

Ohhh, I LOVE that image... 
Seems you've picked up Harvard 20, too, to the left of M71 at about 8 o'clock !

Good Seeing!

Nice one Bob! Beautiful widefield setting for this guy. Looking at the larger version is a must.

Thanks everyone 
This stretch of unusually clear skies has been a lot of fun. The above average seeing really helped keep the star image size under control. Too bad, it all left yesterday.
Mark, thanks for the heads up on Harvard 20. I had been wondering if that little cluster of stars had a catalog designation.
