Description

This a wide filed capture of the Carina Nebula.  One of the largest nebulas visible from Earth. It is brighter and larger than the Orion Nebula.  Amazing amount of Ha in this deep sky object.  I imaged it from February 6th to the 9th 2022.  I image some LRGB on 2/4 and 2/5 but discarded it.  I also did not use the SII nor Lum captured.  I processed the nebula after removing the stars.  The stars were added back using the Ha instead of the RGB.  The RGB image just had too many stars and over powered the nebula.
The image was taken on a Paramount MX+ mount all unguided using the pointing model.
Focus achieved with Focusmax 4.
