Title: "Eta-Carinae-Nebel NGC 3372" - LRGB 592mm
Description:
"Eta Carinae Nebula NGC 3372"
- LRGB 592mm
Once again the data from the Carina Nebula, which I showed this morning, but this time in pure LRGB processing, without narrowband data :-)
The colors are not quite as rich and powerful, but the much nicer coloring that can be achieved with pure RGB :-)
The Carina Nebula (NGC 3372), also known as the Eta Carinae Nebula, is an emission nebula in the constellation "The Ship's Keel". The nebula is one of the largest HII regions in the galaxy, located at a distance of about 6,500 to 10,000 light-years from Earth. It spans about 200-300 light years. The best-known single object in the Carina Nebula is the variable star η (Eta) Carinae, which is part of the Trumpler 16 open cluster.
Although the nebula is one of the brightest objects in the night sky - it is significantly larger and also brighter than the Orion Nebula - it was documented relatively late because of its extremely southern location. It was not until 1751-1752 that Nicolas Louis de Lacaille described it on his voyage to the Cape of Good Hope. He listed the nebula as Lacaille III.6 (text from Wikipedia)
