It is NGC 3293, otherwise known as The Pendant, and lies adjacent to
the Gabriella Mistral Nebula. It is very similar to the Jewel Box, but in
my opinion has more interesting star patterns within it. It is more commonly known
as The Gem Cluster. It is referred to as The Pendant in the book "Imaging The Southern Sky,
[an excellent book, by the way].
