this has been a source of considerable frustration for me

I've got 2 books on astronomy that show constellations and locations of DSOs. both show very different patterns (lines) for carina. i'll be damned if i pick make them match.

i've tried to find eta carina a half a dozen times, but i can never tell which cluster/DSO is the right one because of the inconsistent sources that i'm using.

my plan at this stage is to buy a definitive star atlas, if such a reference is available. any suggestions?
