Wolf-Rayet 31A, is it feasible for imaging?

Looking at the story about the hubble photo of WR31a, located here:

I was wondering if imaging it was feasible, as I can't find much detail about it. Stellarium places it near Eta Carinea so it is certainly in our sky at the moment but I can't find the exact location. I am heading out to the dark site this weekend and I'd like to try it with my RC.
Has anyone tried this target and if so what is the magnitude? and is it near a recognised object?
thanks
