Hercules Star Cluster

Hi, first post to this forum.
I normally hang out around the Astrophotography forum.
But I have an affectionate side for B&W pictures. Takes me back to when I was first interested in Photography as a teenager.
Long story short, I'm using a Monaural camera and like the night skies I get with it.
So it kind of rekindled my old love for B&W.
I'm a total klutz at processing, and even though I do use LRGB filters, I don't colorize my images. The filters tend to bring out details with the colorless camera.
Last night I happened to finally get things going again and picked a relatively easy object I knew I could see if I was on or not.
After a while I zoomed in on the cluster and it was arguably one of my better/best deep space objects. Finally getting somewhere.
So if no one objects, I'd like to share a couple of my B&W space photos with you.
To me, these represent what I see when I look into the night skies. Black and white.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks Don.
Gives one more options, I think.
