NGC 3324 during full moon

Saturday's nights result during full moon in bortle 6.
NGC 3324 or Keyhole nebula, close to Eta Carinae visible in the right down corner. Also in this frame is NGC 3293, Gem Cluster on the left of NGC 3324.
Plate solving timed out after the meridian flip so I was glad I had set the alarm and checked.

Total of 76 subs of 180s at ISO800 used, including darks and flats.
SW HEQ5 Pro
SW ED80
Canon EOS-M6 M2
ZWO ASI120MM mini on ZWO OAG
APT for acquisition, PHD2 for guiding, DSS for stacking, PS for processing.

Nice image !!
Well framed
NGC 3324 is an open cluster associated the Gum 31 nebula and Gabriela Mistra Nebula ( not the Keyhole Nebula )
The Keyhole Nebula is located at the centre of The Carina Nebula adjacent to the Star Eta Carina ( it resembles an old fashioned keyhole in shape )
