Thanks.

That is the Jewel Box, a superb open cluster. 875mm focal length on color 
film is not enough to do justice to that cluster.

The humidity was unexpected and a real problem. Not only did it reduce 
transparency, but it reduced the responsiveness of the film. I did not take 
my air drying setup, because the humidity there is "supposed" to be a 
consistent 30-40%.
