Last night was the turn of NGC 3293 - a nebula with a LOT of stars in the picture! Blimey! I need to try this one again with some adjustments. More details:
The Gem Cluster (NGC 3293) is a young open cluster located approximately 8,400 light-years away in the southern constellation Carina. NGC 3293 has a mass of 1,457 solar masses and is only 12 million years old. It contains more than a hundred stars brighter than 14th magnitude within a field 10 arcminutes across. The cluster itself has a radius of 13.2 light-years.
