NGC 3532 Wishing Well Cluster
Details
NGC 3532 is an open cluster in the constellation of carina. It has different names such as Wishing Well Cluster, Pincushion Cluster or Football Cluster. The cluster is surrounded by many HII filaments and it was my goal to show this all together in one picture. So the framing is kind of odd, with the cluster sitting on top of the image.
