Sab,

Attached is a DSS image of 40x40 arcminutes superimposed in CdC - North is up. The image is centered on the DSS (and Lyngå) position of Harvard 8 (208, the lower red circle), but as you can see the actual cluster is in the upper red circle: the corrected position for Harvard 8/Collinder 268 as listed in Wilton Dias' database. If I read your report correctly your 'trapezium' is visible NNW of there - so you can check for yourself.

In general I have found Dias' data the most reliable when it comes to finding obscure OC's, and I use a CdC catalogue based on his list to prepare my maps.
