Good morning,
an interesting cluster is M71 in Sagitta. Despite its scattered morphology M71 seem to be a globular.
Following shot was made with a 12" Newtonian at 5.3. It was exposured 40 minutes on Fuji SHG 200.
Bigger here:
M71
Hope you enjoy this view.

Indeed ! I have several vivid recollections of its visual appearance high in a transparent dark sky, sprinkled like glittering white pepper in its triangular habit against the velvet black...stunning!

Hi alls,
wow, thank you for your comments! 
Boris: Itīs a crop, around 75 % I think. So the coma (there was no corrector used) is cut at the edges.
