Hi all,

Here is another image which was captured at Zane Hammond's Magellan Observatory.

It was so cold whilst I was imaging this.

Scott,

Thanks for compliment.

Zane had a Nikkor to Canon adapter with a rotating attachment, so, it was quite easy to mount the camera and lens on the mount and then just swivel the camera around the lens with clicks every 90 degrees so you knew your orientation. Must get myself one of those.

Great image Humayan, those ED lenses are real performers.

Lovely shot H, as always.

The reddish-pink nebulosity rather reminds of hot lipstick. Carina must have put her make-up on in anticipation of your visit. I think she likes you....

like Rod, I too think its an unusual colour-as captured or is to do with rgb balancing in processing?

I wish it were a woman. Carina is one of my favourite names, too. :P

Narayan,

It's pretty much how it came out of the camera. *shrugs shoulders*

I'll have to reshoot it.

Mike,

Cheers again, mate. :)

I am intrigued as to why it's turned out like that.

This weekend, when I have access to a CRT monitor, I may reprocess it.

I think I may have gone a little overboard in my stretching.

Humayun
