NGC 3532 (4in f6 20Da).jpg
The open star cluster NGC 3532, aka the Football, Black Arrow or Pincushion Cluster. The dark lane that gives it its Black Arrow nickname is just apparent here.
The odd bit of nebulosity at left does not appear in any catalogues or atlases I could find.
Technical:
Taken with the cropped-frame Canon 20Da camera with 4-inch Astro-Physics Traveler apo refractor at f/6 for 3 minutes each at ISO800. Stack of 2 exposures, averaged stacked. Taken from Queensland, Australia, July 2006. Reprocessed in 2025.
