Introducion

NGC 3766, also known as Caldwell 97, is an eye-catching celestial wonder located within the Southern constellation of centaurus. NGC 3766 was first cataloged by astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille in 1751 during his expedition to the Cape of Good hope, this cluster has since captivated the imagination of astronomers worldwide. NGC3766

Background 

In recent studies, the data collected has illuminated the unique characteristics of NGC 3766, revealing its association with the Carina molecular cloud and its diverse stellar population. despite the cluster being young, estimated at 14.4 million years, the cluster boasts a rich tapestry of celestial phenomena, including fast-rotating pulsating B-type stars and a multitude of spectral types. 

Data Collection and Analysis

To analyze this cluster, I utilized a sample image obtained from Afterglow and got a photometry file, which I then uploaded to Astromancer. Due to constraints, I opted for this approach as it was the only to proceed with an analysis despite not achieving my desired progress in lab 4.2. 

Using the sample stacked images in Afterglow I combined the B, R and V and the final image:

Once I uploaded all my photometry data i gathered from Skynet, i used Astromancer to derive some important parameters: 

Distance	1.03 kiloparsecs
E(B-V)	0.25 magnitudes
Logarithm of age	7.75 years
Metallicity	-1.55 solars

these parameters resulted in the following RP vs B-V comparison plot:
