Description

An incredibly beautiful and bright nebula in the Carina region. At 8,500 LY from earth, it contains a vast number of features and structures. More interestingly, it hides a very special star, the enigmatic Eta Carinae. Being studied by the best astronomers in the world, Specially by Brazil's Augusto Daminelli. I highly recommend reading this brilliant article:

This was the first light of my new IDAS ORQ D1 filter, it did not disappoint! It's a fantastic addition to my astroimagng rig, specially for RGB at a time when my "dark" site is being invaded by light pollution...

Enjoy
