Description

A prominent feature in the Carina Nebula (Eta Carinae, NGC3372), the Keyhole nebula structure and dust pillar section offers a bright, complex region of nebulosity. A dark nebula region on bright background, and surrounded by filaments, globules and the dust pillars, and even a stellar jet called the Mystic Mountains. Plenty to look at and study.
