The Smoking Man

From the X-Files of course!

There he is, bottom right - in profile, wearing a hat - kind of like the Eta Carina version of the Witch Head Nebula.

Waiting for my "real" target to rise again last night, it was very clear out so I spent a little time imaging this lesser known corner of Eta Carina in Ha.

Just 6x15 min Ha 5nm Astrodon subs - might be worthwhile getting a full tricolour NB on this as it's a nice bright target.

Thanks for looking :)

I love it. It's a great shot Andy of one of my favourite places.

A very nice rendition. :thumbsup: It's a fair way out of the nebula. I had to check my widefields to see where it was exactly.
