HD 93250 is one of the brightest stars in the region of the Carina Nebula.
It is only 7.5 arc-minutes from the famous Eta Carinae and HD 93250 is considered to be a member of the same loose open cluster Trumpler 16, although it appears closer to the more compact Trumpler 14.

HD 93250 is in a region of the Carina Nebula with several bright stars, for example HD 93268 and HDE 303311, but relatively few faint stars.
It has been proposed that these bright stars are the core of a separate cluster called Collinder 232, but the lack of any concentration of fainter stars in the area makes it more likely that Collinder 232 is not a real cluster and HD 93250 is just an outlying member of one of the more obvious clusters.

Membership of Trumpler 16 constrains the distance and likely age of HD 93250.
