One more open cluster, then I'll break for a while. This is NGC 2301 centrally located in Monoceros roughly between the Rosette Nebula and M50. I have attached a mid size thumbnail. Full size and details are at:

Scope is my C8 at f/2.8 and the camera is my ToUcam SC3 RAW

Total exposure is about 24 minutes

Those open cluster shots of your look great.

They are actually tricky to make look good. A lot of open cluster shots are boring. Yours are nicely highlighted compared to the background.
