This chart shows the large constellation of Carina, the keel of the ship Argo Navis, of Jason and the Argonauts fame. Most of the stars visible to the naked eye on a clear night are shown. The small star cluster NGC 3590 is shown. It can be seen in a small telescope as a little knot of faint stars in a rich region of the southern Milky Way.
