Carina with the 2600MC
Conditions were really good last night in Sydney after that huge low pushed through during the day. All the cloud cleared off by 6.00pm leaving a pristine clear night until morning , no wind, no dew , no moon and no mozzies
First time capturing the Carina Nebula using my 2600MC ( capture this object many times before with the old DSLR)
