Thanks Bernard. I believe it's an open cluster.

Albert,
Beautiful cluster. Is it classified as an open or globular?

This is another Southern Hemisphere shot I just processed known as the Gem
Cluster or NGC 3293. It is about 8400 light years from Earth and very close
to the Eta Carinae Nebula which is why there is so much red dust in the
background.
