Cluster identification please

[dugnsuz]

Hello all...
Few nights ago pointed lens at what I thought was Eta.
Took 1x10min exposure at FL 280mm. When I checked I found I was way off!
I had imaged a small cluster but not NGC 3293 I think:shrug:
Any ideas to its identity??
Cheers in advance
Doug:thumbsup:

ps...just noticed a bit of red nebulous stuff poking out the middle right hand edge of the pic...?? edges of Eta Neb region??

Houghy will get this for sure, he managed to identify theta carinae for me :)

It could be NGC 3532 or NGC 3293.

Just a guess. :shrug:

I'd say NGC 3766 .

[glenc]

I agree with NGC 3766. The nebula you mentioned is IC 2944.

[dugnsuz]

Yes googled NGC 3766. That's definitely the fella!!
Thanks all for the help. I can now confidently name the file.
Cheers
Doug

A pretty little cluster none the less. I think I should start a gallery of 'near miss' objects. No shortage for me
