Ngc 3293

Hi all, I imaged the Gem Cluster (NGC 3203) yesterday and also had a look at it through my new TV 16mm Nagler. My old Erfle 'wide-field' eyepiece now appears rather pathetic I must say - what a difference!

This is a very beautiful and rich cluster close to Eta Carinae. It is similar in appearance to the Jewel Box (NGC 4755) with a contrasting bright red giant.

Attached is the image, comments, critique etc are welcome

Regards,
Rolf
