This is the rich Eta Carinae Nebula area of the southern Milky Way, with the main nebula surrounded by a variety of open star clusters: NGC 3532 the Football Cluster, IC 2602 the Southern Pleiades, NGC 3293 the Gem Cluster. In a portrait orientation and in a field that simulates the field of view of binoculars.

Technical:
This is a stack of 4 x 3 minute exposures at f/2.8 with 135mm telephoto lens and Canon MkII camera at ISO 800. Taken from the Atacama Lodge in Chile in May 2011. Two of the frames had some haze from passing clouds, which added natural star glows. No filter used here. Reprocessed in 2025.
