CRONTAB question

I'm working on an experimental web cam project.  I only want it to be live
during the hours of 8 to 5 (business hours).  Can I specify a range on my
hours?

Here's what my crontab entry is . . . it didn't balk, so I'm wondering if I
did it right:

* 8-17,8-17,8-17,8-17,8-17 * * 1-5 /usr/local/batch/uploadpic.sh

Does this sound right?   I was testing it today with this and it worked
fine for uploading pics every minute:

* * * * 1-5 /usr/local/batch/uploadpic.sh

Thanks in advance!
