Gem Cluster

The Gem Cluster NGC3293 . One of the loveliest little Open clusters in the Southern Sky.This is a stack of 539 lights and 10 darks . Each frame was 2.5 sec giving at total exposure time of 22.4 min.A tweek on the curves in Gimp2 but that's about it. I was hoping to capture a hint of underlying nebula which extends from Eta Carina but that may have to wait for non LP skies. The Red giant V361 gives a nice colour contrast similar to DU Crux in "The headlights" of the the Jewel box.
