Description

This image is the Eta Carinae Nebula (NGC 3372) in Carina which rotates around the Southern Celestial Pole, never rising or setting from my location.

This was taken through an Astrotech ED60 f6 wide field refractor with flattener. The camera was a Nikon D5300 (no mods). Image consists of 60 x35sec subs, processed in DSS with Darks and Bias, and finsihed in Photoshop CC.

This is a test of this little scope. It was mounted on my CGX in the observatory for this shot.
