Ay caramba another Carina

[AstroJason (Jason)]

Ay Carina! I know, I know, another Carina Nebula, but my scope is new and I had to give it a go!

Little over 3 hours and 20 minutes here. Shot with my Esprit 100mm and unmodded Canon 6D.

Made up of several exposure lengths.
10 x 10 minutes to try get the fainter stuff
20 x 5 minutes for well yeah, most of the stuff
25 x 10 seconds for the core

Had a bit of trouble processing the core and trying to blend it in. Still trying to get back into the swing of processing after all these years but I am enjoying it! Probably a little too saturated? But it's sometimes hard to hold back on that slider in Photoshop

Any feedback is always welcome and thanks for looking!

Hey mate that’s a great shot. I think you’ve done really well taming the bright areas and the colour is nice to my eye too. But the way- your Flickr album is incredible!

Another *very good* Carina. Well done

Thanks heaps Dave. Pretty crazy how bright that core is, blown out in almost anything more than 10 second exposures. Glad the colour is good, my monitor is a little misleading. I try check the images on different devices before I upload them. And thank you, glad you had a look at my Flickr album too!
