Description

This is a re-edition of an old image of mine of NGC 3532.

NGC 3532 is an open cluster near the great Carina nebula composed of 150 stars, which strangely enough does not include the big yellow star in the upper right corner.

I acquired the LRGB part of this image in 2021 (still available in an earlier AB upload). For this edition, I added 4 and a half hours of Ha data to expose the nebulosity behind it, which I find super interesting.

I noticed that nebulosity while processing the LRGB data 3 years ago, and made plans to do this composite some time. Well, after a year-long dry spell, that time finally arrived.

Fun stuff, after so long, my telescope orientation didn't match my older data, and I had mismatched diffraction spikes. Fun stuff to deal with.
