Here is a somewhat plain result from my first night out in 2008 (Jan 11). Its been a struggle with weather this year, but this is the first of a hopefully better rest of the year. NGC 2345 is small sparse open. It is moderately young but contains several red giants as well as some bright blue giants. Full size image and details are here:
