Thanks Leon,

by no means did I intend someone to do a search themselves,
in fact, I know how frustrating that can be!
My Cartes Du Ciel catalogue only goes down to mag 14 or 15 anyway so
that is pretty well useless. (Tycho 2 cat)
My only real hope is to do some widefield with my modded webcam on
the 12" with a FReducer and compare the field.
That and making a mosaic using Aladin frames around suspect NGC
objects.

To kill two birds with one stone, I may as well just do a mosaic starting
from Alpha Antlia and move the scope in DEC untill I reach the cluster
I was originally after. (Using the DSI on the GSO-12 at Newt Focus).
That should get the field eventually.

Steve
