Description

A reworking of an image I took in Namibia in May 2017.
I also photographed NGC 3247 and NGC 3199 individually in May 2019 and have now incorporated them into the image.
Total exposure time 7.5 hours.
The well-known Eta Carinae Nebula is only 1.5° away from NGC 3247.
The circular red spot on the right edge of the image is the Planetary Nebula PN G 283.4-01.3

To „see“ The Whirling Derwish you have to turn NGC 3257 conterclockwise 90°.
