Details:
The continual clouds spread the (2 days from) Full Moon's glare so thoroughly that I couldn't see the star cluster at all in the camera's viewfinder to get it suitably centered with the Moon. Yet, despite the off-center composition, lens flaring, and violet veiling, I rather like the result. The Head of Hydra is peering over the lower left-side edge.
