Description

I obtained these data for the Carinae Nebula from Tragoolchitr Jittasaiyapan (Thailand) in 2017.  He acquired the images in Australia in 2011.  An FSQ106 equipped with an SBIS STX16803 was used to acquire the images.    An hour of exposure was provided for each filter.  This image is a RGB.  I did extract the luminance and edited it a bit, but I didn't use a super luminance.  I was unable to use StarXterminator on this image.  The resulting starless image had many red blotches and was unusable.  However, Starnet++ provided a perfect starless image and star mask.  Most of the processing was done with Pixinsight.  A GAME mask was used to protect the central area while using GHS.  Photoshop was used to make minor adjustments in contrast and color.   GraXpert was used to remove gradients.
