Homunculus Nebula

[EzyStyles (Eric)]

Hi Guys,

After seeing Bert's Homunculus Nebula in the Keyhole Nebula, i've decided to give it ago. Very interesting indeed.

A few sets of exposures ranging from 1 sec, 2 sec, 5 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec exposure shots. (I can't remember how many but only a few). The right one is a zoom of the first. The third image i did recently to give you an idea of the perspective around it.

High Res here:

I had some nice seeing and an almost ambient mirror.............so i did some lovely visual of this object last night.

you have captured it beautifully

Not a bad effort Eric. Screams for focal length to obtain greater detail.

well caught eric

Very good result, Eric.

It's a tough target as the light from Eta washes out the double bubbles around it.

Visually, the bubbles can be seen quite easily from dark skies, but cameras get burnout from Eta while trying to get the fainter bubbles.

But you have done nice work of it

[ving (David)]

theres gotta be a way to mask the star to get the bubbles or something...

probably the best one yet, is this a merged multi exposure version or did you just use one of the listed times?

[EzyStyles (Eric)]

cheers guys thanks. I wonder if adding more filters might lower the carina star bightness. hmm. It is a merged of the listed exposure shots.

That's amazing Eric!

I love to observe the Homunculus visually. Your image captures the scene so well.

A nice capture Eric, well done. Definitely a tricky customer to capture.

Cheers
