A simply exquisite shot, Chris. I like very wide field shots of OCs; that way
you can put them in context with their environment. NGC 2362 is one of my
favorite objects, too. I've always considered it to be a swarm of bees
surrounding their queen. Is this done from an autonomously controlled
telescope? I noticed the temp outside was 35 degrees F. What was the
temperature inside?!
Clear skies,

HI all,
This ranks pretty high on my lists of favorite visual and photographic
objects, NGC2362 in CMa. A brilliant blue saphire on black velvet
surrounded by a swarm of attending minute blue stars makes for a
spectacular combination.� The Orion Astrograph did a fine job on this
object, bringing out many of the faintest cluster members.� You'll enjoy
this one!
