Here is an open cluster in Canis Major. This was done from my driveway in the city so the light pollution was bad. But there are a few Mag 18 stars anyway. Image data was collected in early January.

Camera - Art285, Scope - C8 at f/6

Full size image and exposure / processing details are at:

Despite the city sky, you did a great job as usual Jim.
