Description

I am still very much a neophyte at NB imaging, so here is another image where I no doubt will do a better job once I have learned the ropes. The Gabriela Mistral nebula (crazy name, crazy nebula) is located just above the lobe of Eta Car. I have yet to attempt Eta Car in NB, but I liked the look of Ms Mistal's eponymous nebula, and also the open cluster NGC3293.

This is the result of a full night's integration. I am happy with the data (all around 3 px FWHM) but still need to work on post-processing. Particularly those *#$% stars. Perhaps I should go to NB + RGB?
