NGC3293 - The Pendant

Great little cluster in Carina and on the southern edge of Gum 30. (South is Up)

Its the subject of recent studies by ESO amongst others looking at the evolution of clusters as this object is around 10 million years old but contains both blue giants and orange super giants indicating stars are aging at different rates.

There is an RGB image and also a link to a Ha blend which shows the nebulosity in the surrounding area. Still working through blending narrow band so bear with me

RGB
NGC3293 Open CLuster in Carina - The Pendant


LRGB with Ha as L
NGC3293 Open CLuster in Carina - The Pendant

Theres around 5 hours of RGB and 6 of Ha in this using the GSO RC8 and STL 6303e, processed with PI.

Thanks for looking
