Description

The Eta Carina Complex is one of the largest and most impressive nebula areas in the Skies - located in the Southern Skies. This image was taken with Ha, OIII and SII filters and processed in a mixed mode betwenn SHO and OHS to get more details and finer color details.

It is larger and brighter than the Orion Nebula but due to very southern location, it was discovered quite late. Its visual diameter is about 120 arcminutes, its distance about 7700-9000LJ and its real diameter about 200-300 lightjears - so really large. It is also one of the most active and largest H-regions of the galaxy.
