"NGC 3372"        

The Great Nebula in Carina, is a large bright nebula that surrounds several open clusters of stars. Eta Carinae and HD 93129A, two of the most massive and luminous stars in our Milky Way galaxy, are among them. The nebula lies at an estimated distance between 6,500 and 10,000 light years from Earth. It is located in the constellation of Carina. The nebula contains multiple O-type stars. (wikipedia)

I alwayas go to this region to observe a lot of beautiful objects. Here you can see (Down almost in the center)  one of my favorite open cluster: NGC 3532, it looks like a lot of shining diamonds. Also you can see, at the right IC 2602, also known as the Theta Carinae Cluster or Southern Pleiades.
