Description

The Great Carina Nebula is expansive, captured in its entirety only at shorter focal lengths (which I've done several times in the past using a RedCat 51). But I decided to see what I could see at a longer focal length on a couple of nights waiting for my primary target to rise, and I'm very happy I took the time to do so. There's just so much going on in this amazing nebula, and its brightness allows you to capture great detail in a relatively short amount of time. One of these days I will try for a long focal length mosaic of the entire nebula.
