Description

There was a marvellous image of the day of this area not so long ago

I remembered I had cropped this out of the Eta Carina data I had captured through itelescope at new year

I thought I would dig out the data and process this bit for something to do on a lock down Saturday

Got charades on Zoom shortly .....

Wiki tells us ...

NGC 3324 is an open cluster in the southern constellation Carina, located northwest of the Carina Nebula (NGC 3372)[4][5] at a distance of 7,560 ly (2,317 pc) from Earth.[2] It is closely associated with the emission nebula IC 2599, also known as Gum 31.[6] The two are often confused as a single object, and together have been nicknamed the "Gabriela Mistral Nebula" due to its resemblance to the Chilean poet.[3][7][8] NGC 3324 was first catalogued by James Dunlop in 1826.[4]
