This submission from Tom,

Here's one of the first successful deep sky photos I've taken. I shot
through an ST80 telescope piggy-backed on my Meade LX90 and used a
Nikon
Coolpix 4500, :08 seconds at f/2.6, ISO 400, processed in Paint Shop
Pro.

Not perfect, perhaps, but don't blame the stars for that.

One of my favorite open star clusters. I always look for it in late summer, as it tells me it's time to start preparing for winter.

Thanks Tom.
