Description

NGC3293 as a beautiful open star cluster with a rich background of nebulosity.  It is in a flashy neighborhood adjacent to the Carina nebula and consequently, it is often overlooked.  It is about 8,000 light years away and contains more than 100 stars brighter than 14th magnitude.  At roughly 12 million years old, it is a relatively young cluster.

I used a modified SHO pallet with the goal to bring out as much variation in colors as possible. 

Hope you like it.
