Description

The Keyhole Nebula (NGC3324) is part of the much larger eta Carinae Nebula--the brightest nebula in the sky. I managed to image this through a short break in the clouds. The fact that this was only a 50 minute exposure (10min L, 10 min G, 10 minB, 20 minR) is a good indication of just how bright this object is.
