Abel 370 - I give up

Well I tried, but failed.

From NASA the coords for Abel 370 are: RA: 2h 39m 49.9s Dec: -1 34 26.69
The size of the sample image from NASA is about 4 arc min.

I used plate solving to get the scope roughly centered on the given coords (represented by the yellow circle).

The size of the sample image overlayed on my result is the size (roughly) of the yellow square.

But it's not there!

Time to move on...

At mag 22 I imagine you would struggle to capture anything much Peter. With a large light bucket
and a long enough exposure you would probably be rewarded with some sort of result.
