Jon,
As usual a very nice image. I've been playing around with SkyMap to see how
much the image & chart match up. So far the only thing on SkyMap I haven't
been able to identify is a small open cluster 21' SE of Rho Oph, Grasdalen
1. I think it may be the small faint ring of stars in the  area mentioned,
But if not, I'm sure someone will point it out.  

Thanks for sharing

     Rick Scott has kindly pointed out that my sky-memory was in error.
Jon's image is rotated but not reverted:  north is _left_ and east down,
so it is only rotated 90 deg from sky-right.

     Some discussion about the star and nebula colors can be found
together with a smaller-scale by the Hallas':
