Description

When I realized I could capture the glorious Carina Nebula from Costa Rica, I was fixated on the idea. A seemingly simple task for an experienced imager like myself - boy was I wrong.

The heat, the lights, the wind, and lack of my trusty NORTH STAR made this project a challenge.

Please have a look at the video (YouTube) if you're interested in more. Under 10 minutes of overall exposure time, with an unmodded DSLR!
