Attached is an image of the Carina Nebula complex including NGC3324 The Gabriella Mistral Nebula and NGC3293 The Gem Cluster. The image was compiled from ninety 60-second images using a Sharpstar 61EDPHII refractor and an ASI2600MC Pro Duo camera on a ZWO AM5 mount..

Thats a really good shot Tim. Perfect stars across the field, no tracking issues there.

Very nice picture Tim.


While perusing the full-res version, I found a short green trail, which I've pointed out in the attached PNG. Do you know what that could be? I'm assuming it's from something terrestrial, since there's not many green things in space. :question:

Most likely a hot spot on the sensor, I think, but possibly a cosmic ray that came in at just the right angle to intersect two adjacent green pixels on its way through.
