NGC 2477 and NGC 2451

Click image above to view full size
These are two very nice but quite different open clusters in the constellation of Puppis. NGC 2477 is quite small and faint compared to it's companion 2451. However both fit quite nicely in the one field of view here, and make quite a nice composition.
Camera:Pentax SP1000
Aperture:80mm
