Description

Eta Carinae Nebula, NGC 3372. Largest emissions nebula in the Southern Hemisphere. I have imaged this area many times with other scopes (some in my Gallery elsewhere) but this is the first time with my TS115 Triplet APO (reduced to F5.53). Image consists of: 24x60s Ha subs, 34x60s Oiii subs, and 40x60s Sii subs. Ha was used as a Luminance layer as well. Camera is the ASI1600MM-C, set at Unity Gain (139), with temperature at -20C.

Bias and Dark frames used. Processed as HOS palette in DSS and Photoshop CC. Mount is CGX in my observatory.

I will do a reprocess shortly as there is much more data there and I might switch to SHO.
