Clusters NGC2362 and NGC2420

Here are a couple of open clusters from awhile back. The images and exposure / processing details can be accessed at:

NGC2362:

NGC2420:
http://jthommes.com/Astro/NGC2420.htm

I have also attached a mid sized image of NGC2420. The scope was a C8 and the camera was an Artemis285.

Both were fairly short exposures hampered by thin clouds. Don't know when I'm going to see clear skies again.

Very nice image Jim! I am excited to start imaging a few clusters myself. I love spring!

Thanks for the comments guys. I liked getting the fuzzies in NGC2420 - didn't expect them when I planned the image. But its kinda fun to see them come up on the sub downloads when you're not expecting them.
