NGC 3293 is a brilliant open cluster at the upper part of the image. At magnitude 4 it is easily visible by the naked eye. NGC 3324 is an emission nebula lying 7200 light years away, it is a round shaped giant star forming region at the bottom of the image. These beautiful objects are located very close to the famous Eta Carinae Nebula, so they are a bit hidden by the popularity of that giant neighbour. 10hrs data over 2 nights 16 and 19th Jan, 3.5hr Ha 2hrs and a bit each RGB- processed SIRIL and PS
