The Eta Carinae Nebula (NGC 3372) in Carina

Hey all,

A little late to the party on this perennial favourite. It was data I captured a few months ago but only got around to processing recently.

Bit of a quickie -- just 34 hours of data this time. Have wanted to image this in narrowband for so many years, and, finally got to do it this year in between other projects.

This is the culmination of 34 hours of data (30 hours of narrowband for the nebula and 4 hours of data for the stars) imaged over 20 nights during April and May.

Larger version available here.

Comments, critique, etc., welcome.

Thanks for looking!

H

Very enjoyable view, great effort and result with all aspects handled well.

Nice to see you sticking with the program H. My only critique would be the dark rings around some stars.

The FSQ is such a nice 'scope. Well done

Thanks. I've been looking forward to capturing this and processing it in narrowband for so long! Feels good to get it out of my system, for this season, at least.

Peter,

Being short focal length, I'm kind of stuck to the usual suspects (apart from the mosaic work that I'm also doing at the same time... and, no idea when I'll ever get around to processing the data. :O).

The dark rings would be my lacking PixInsight-fu blending LRGB with bloated narrowband stars. Need more practise.
