Nice report Rick, good to see another observers on his way.
One minor point, I believe NGC 2362 is in Canis Major, not Carina, as evidenced by one of its names the Tau Canis Majoris cluster. I have also heard it referred to as the Northern Jewell Box. Certainly not a boring object. Great target for your first NGC!
