NGC 3324 (middle) and NGC 3293 (right)
These open clusters are located in the northwest corner of the Carina Nebula, seen in the lower left of the image. The area is located about 7,200 light-years from Earth.
Processing notes: to correct corner star shapes before integration, I ran batch BXT (in "correct only" mode) against all of the light images. Color palette is SHO-based including color calibration, background neutralization, and tweaks with curves transformation.
