Southern Pelaides (I think)

Hi everyone,

I was about to shoot Eta but saw this out of the corner of my finder scope. I'm pretty sure it is Southern Pelaides.

Comments, observation, suggestions welcome.

Cheers, Michael.

It looks more like the Jewel Box (NGC4755) to me. The Southern Pleiades is a bit more open. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

It is NGC 3293

Thanks for clarifying Glen!
