Re: [APML] Perseus double cluster and widefield Pleiades and IC1995

Loke -
Mine was done from the SDAA site near Tierra del Sol, about 15-20 miles
south of Mt Laguna.  The site usually gets to around mag 6.3-6.5 to my eyes.
Probably very close to your site on Mt Laguna although Laguna has better
transparency being a little higher.
