Astrometric properties of images obtained using MSCRED IRAF software package are investigated. CCD observations of M35 open cluster were taken in an observation run between October 10 and 17, 2004 at Belogradchick Observatory (Bulgaria) using the 60cm Cassegrain telescope endowed with a 1kX1k Apogee 47P CCD camera, ensuring to a field size of 6.16 square minutes, with a scale of 0.722arcsec/pixel in 2X2 binned mode. Dithered images are resampled and reansambled into a single larger image for
