Description

NGC 3532 (Caldwell 91) commonly known as  the Wishing Well cluster, is an open star cluster in the constellation of Carina that sits in a rich region of the southern Milky Way.
It's a great visual object and long exposure images reveal swathes of background nebulosity. It lies at a distance of approximately 1320 light years, much closer than most of the other deep sky objects in this part of the sky.

This is my first image with the new ZWO OAG & ASI220mm guide cam.
