Wow, now that is a nice photograph! NGC 7789 is one of my favorites. It's rather dim but on a good night a splendid object

Very natural looking, great focus, and not over-processed. I like this a lot.

Very nice, Blue! I rarely do clusters - likely a big mistake on my part, something I hope to remedy some day.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I am learning post processing and I find that clusters are some of the hardest of all to get right. So I wanted opinions on how the processing was done. Your help is appreciated. Blueman

Hey Blue, Very nice cluster image!
It was a bit of Deja Vu for me in that I have a very similar image taken with very similar equipment and set up - except for the imaging camera.

Hi Jim, Thanks! I think I have seen your pic too on Astromart, nice! A great cluster to image huh? I like the J shaped asterism that is in the lower left center of the pic. It is an unusual shape for a group of stars. Blueman
