This 50 second exposure of two well-known open clusters in Puppis was captured via the Bradford Robotic Telescope facility on Tenerife in the Canary Islands. It taken with a 200mm Nikon lens and a FLI MaxCam CM2-1 fitted with a E2V CCD47-10 (1k x 1k pixels, each 13um square). The raw image was somewhat disapointing. This processed version was the best I could do with it. Faint M46 lies to the left of center and the brighter but sparser M47 is to the upper right.
