A fantastic image with some room for enhancement to take it further.

Thanks, Greg, and thanks for the useful advice.

The green Eta carinae is quite intentional. I should have put that in the caption. I didn't want to mess up the Homunculus. The inner, two-shuttle-cocks back-to-back Homunculus strong in OIII is just barely discernible, but the outer, larger but fainter Lion's Beard around the Homunculus (not shown in early Hubble releases but seen in others) is quite visible.

Best,
Mike
