Carina Nebula in 3nm NII HDR

I am sorry for yet another Carina Neb but it is a good test object. The Moon was full so I had to find something to image well away from it.

Exposures in 3nm NII, 15x1 min, 10x4 min and 7x16 min. Used these three exposure stacks to tone map a HDR.

Full res image 6 MB FoV 3.5 x 3.5 degrees.

The extra detail visible made it a worthwhile exercise.
