A faint nebula in Carina

[topheart]

So many photons in so little time....It shouldn't be allowed!

I checked your image (~3.5asp @ 9um) against half your FOV that I did in Ha (2.1asp @ 5.4um) ? Maybe the sampling difference is why I thought it was a bit soft.

Ah yep...thaaat cooould have something to do with it I swamp your field size though ... but I do like your processing (and I will try and improve for the future repro, I really rushed it what with all the beer and whisky consumed throughout the processing )...I should get one of these for the FSQ, but it would require bigger (expensive) filters

Wow amazing how far the nebulosity extends. Great telescope and lovely shot Mike!

Thanks Prickly, yes it is a pretty big and bright bugger but the faint outer stuff still requires some exposure and care with processing

Another amazing widefield in the making Mike.

So sharp and detailed.

I love the new path you are powering along.

OK - for a minute there I thought you had gone for a world record sub frame.

M&T have routinely done 60min subs with their big fork mounted beauty...wonder if they have tried 90min
