NGC 3576, 79 and NGC3603

Hi All. Here's an image of a beautiful region in Carina containing NGC 3576, 79 and NGC 3603 + dark nebulae and indications of obscuring matter through upper middle of frame. It's 3 hours of data (50min L; 20 R; 20 G; 20 B; 70 Halpha) through my TOA130 (with focal reducer) mounted on EM-200 Temma2; STL1100M camera using internal guiding. Processed in CCDStack and PS CS4. Approximately 50% of the frame cropped.

It took a number of processing iterations before achieving a result that I was happy with. Probably some way to go yet!

A hi-res version is at http://www.russellsastronomy.com/sky...gion-final.jpg
