Nothing like poor processing to spoil the view. I wasn't happy with the earlier version, but had fun putting in those star diffraction spikes.

This one is not only much better, but more natural without them as the stars in the cluster now seem to hover in 3D.

I think this might be your best yet, Ron! But maybe that's a bit of a biased opinion due to my love of open star clusters? No matter, it came out great!
