NGC 3532 (Caldwell 91)] also commonly known as the Pincushion Cluster, Football Cluster, and the Wishing Well Cluster, is an open cluster some 405 parsecs from Earth in the constellation Carina. Its population of approximately 150 stars of 7th magnitude or fainter includes seven red giants and seven white dwarfs. On 20 May 1990 it became the first target ever observed by the Hubble Space Telescope.
The cluster was first catalogued by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille in 1751. It was admired by John Herschel, who thought it one of the finest star clusters in the sky, with many double stars (binary stars).

Was looking for clusters in rich star fields in Sky Atlas 2000, this seem as good candidate and surpassed expectations. 3 x 300 L, 1 x 300 each RGB.
