Open Cluster NGC 2546

Imaging has gotten very sparse with me lately. Seems like weather and work demands have conspired to limit my time under the stars. Last chance I had to get out, I aimed at a Southerly target - NGC 2546. I have attached a medium size image - the full size image is more interesting. It can be accessed by clicking on the image at:

Overall, a short exposure - L:R:G:B 10:6:6:6.

Thanks for the comments guys....

While work is still a drag, the skies have cleared up a bit, so I've been out a little the last two nights.

Brian, third shift, ouch, that does sound tough.
