Caballero2(1) MPIA (2) UCM • Praesepe: old (~600Myr), nearby(190pc), metal rich ([Fe/H]=0.27) • A LBT/LBC deep survey in r',i',z' and Y bands in the central region, covering 44'X44'. • Observed in March, Dec. 2008 and Feb. 2009 • 5 sigma detection in r', i' and z' are 26.0, 25.5 and 24.7, reaching substellar regime of 55Mjup. • Calibration need more work
