Well, it looks like I was attracted to some open clusters again.

These two clusters are in a 50 arc minute field. The smaller NGC 1807 is in the lower right and NGC 1817 is in the upper left. North is up. I have attached a mid sized thumbnail, but a full size image with exposure and processing details are at:

Great shot Jim,

Looks like you've got it down how to use your ToUcam. Amazing what can be extracted from it. I wouldn't change anything if I were you. It takes a long time to get a setup working.

Greg.
