Mike (Iceman) took this image of the OC D297 = NGC 3114:

It is "A beautiful cluster of stars, arranged in curvilinear lines intersecting each other, about 40' diameter, extended south preceding, and north following." according to its discoverer, James Dunlop.
This naked eye cluster was, surprisingly, not included in Nicolas Lacaille's 1752 catalog.

The Dunlop catalog is sorted from south to north in declination order, not by RA like most modern catalogs.
D1 is the most southerly object and D629 the most northerly.
