NGC 2422 and NGC 2374

Here are a couple of Open Clusters caught on my small system. These are only 3 degrees apart but are in different constellations (Puppis and Canis Major respectively).

So NGC 2422 (AKA M47) is large and bright while NGC 2374 is pretty small. Both are sparse Open Clusters.

Hi Jim, nice to see y9ou are getting out, wish I could say the same. Nice clusters.

Hi Jim!

Nice shots of more usually-ignored clusters!

Good job. As usual, I agree with your star colors - they look just right on my monitor.
