The Great Carina Nebula and its neighbours.

Recently completed this project of imaging the Great Carina Nebula at a distance of 9,100 ly from earth in the in the constellation Carina.

I am fortune enough to have it visible at reasonably good altitudes from my southern latitude here in South Africa.

I shot this project over six nights to collect a decent amount of data to highlight some of the feinter nebulosity surrounding the main nebula but also highlight the "Gabriela Mistral Nebula" and the star cluster NGC 2393. NGC 3324 is an open cluster in the southern constellation Carina, located northwest of the Carina Nebula and is associated with the emission nebula IC 2599. Together have been nicknamed the "Gabriela Mistral Nebula" due to the resemblance to the Chilean poet.

I decided to image it at a shorter focal length using my Tele Vue-76 and the TRF-2008 0.8x Reducer/Flattener at 380mm which really allowed me to frame Nebula and it surroundings.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
