Description

This photo shows the Great Carina Nebula, close to the center of the image. This is one of the most beautiful regions of the sky for naked eye and telescopic observation, for it features several deep sky objects and stars, including the Carina Nebula, other nebulae and star clusters. There is another nebula to the left, called Running Chicken. The star cluster near the botton is called Southern Pleiades.
