Description

NGC 3293 is an open cluster in the constellation of Carina. It consists of more than 100 stars brighter than 14th magnitude in a 10 arc minute field, the brightest of which are blue supergiants of apparent magnitude 6.5 and 6.7. There is also a 7th magnitude pulsating red supergiant, V361 Carinae.

I still have to master the technique of maintaining star colours, as in this image they all appear white.
