Gum 29 Emission Nebula in Carina

[Hagar (Doug)]

This image of Gum 29 and surrounds. A compact star nursery in Carina.

6 X 15 minute exposures Baader 6nm Ha filter.
Telescope: Takahashi FSQ 106ED at f5 530mm
Camera: QHY9 Mono with 6nm Ha filter.

1st image is just a stretch only, Image 2 is with a slight sharpen.

Hi Res version HERE

Very nice Doug, stars are tight as.

You really are churning out some nice images, Doug. Keep them coming as they are off the well trodden path and an inspiration.

The Hi res version has all the goods Doug!
Lots of faint subtle emission and the fainter stars are lovely pin pricks...
Well processed and this will look great with colour added...

Very nice Doug. Thanks for the view. Looking forward to the colour version. All the best.

[multiweb (Marc)]

Great capture Doug. Love your field! As others mentioned looking forward to the color.
Where is this in relation to Eta?

[Ross G]

Hi Doug,

I like it very much.

Very sharp and so much detail.


Thanks.

Ross.

Marc i believe this is around NGC3572, a bit under Eta Carinae

A fascinating image Doug

I know a colour version would be spectacular but I always enjoys the Ha versions

Nice one Doug, lots of fine wispy detail there.

Cheers Daniel.

[Hagar (Doug)]

Thanks fellas. Should have been a bit more exposure but it clouded up and now is raining cats and dogs so nothing for a while until the weather clears. I was probably very lucky to get this much. Thank God daylight saving has ended.

[RobF (Rob)]

Yep, another beautie for sure Doug. Thanks for sharing.
Is that the (a?) Wolfe Rayett neb on the left I seem to recognise?

[Hagar (Doug)]

I believe the nebula on the left to be NGC3199.

Nice field that Doug and it looks fab in Ha only

You got the whole loop of NGC 3199 - nice

Funnily enough I was considering doing a shot of this area early on Friday evening before starting on the Fighting Dragons, just while I waited for the target to rise and mirrors to reach equilibrium

Thanks Mike. Lots of small HII areas around to concentrate on which are rarely imaged. My new Tak scope should arrive this week and at 900mm focal length should give me that bit more mag to image these areas.
