M67 Open Cluster

Here I am with a new scope, no Hydrogen alpha filter that fits it, and
a full moon. What a dilemma! I settled on M67 as a suitable target,
assuming that the moonlight couldn't ruin an open cluster too much. I
average combined 21 one-minute exposures in the final image. One
minute was as long as I could expose without the moonlight saturating
the background with the fast f/3.3 E160 astrograph. Please take a
look.

I welcome comments from everyone. Thanks for looking.

Clear skies,

Thanks, Dennis! Also enjoyed the galaxies and the horsehead.
People will learn from your work.
