NGC 3372 Eta Carina

[CoolhandJo (Paul)]

This is the first time I have imaged Eta Carina in Narrow Band.

The sky was at its best last night.

I am amazed at how much detail the narrow band type imaging can give you over LRGB.

Comments welcomed.

Hubblesque! Top shot.

Thanks for the comments all. Yes, it is certainly a creative process this Narrow Band imaging! I noticed the Red wasn't enough so I increased the red channel a bit!

I am a complete beginer. 2 months ago I would never believe a backyard astronomer can acquire such beautiful and detail outer space picture, well done!

Hehe, duh, nice to see the penny drop .

Top image, up close , no WFW rubbish there.

Like the colour balance too, different.

Thanks Louie,

David - welcome to astrophotography! In a little while you can do this as well - a bit of a learning curve but worth it IMHO

Fred, Thanks. Penny now dropped! BTW what is WFW?
