NGC3372 Eta Carinae Nebula
Dusty glow, could see a bright orange star with slight ring glow top and bottom?,
That is the Homunculus Nebula, an intense orange bi-polar nebula surrounding the star Eta Carinae. In good seeing, try using around 200-250x and you may see a very irregular outline of the lobes and detail within the lobes themselves.
