Eta Carina Nebula NGC 3372 LRGB

I was watching a couple of Adam Block's videos, today, and in one on Drizzle Integration he was using one of the Pro Data Sets from Telescope Live's FSQ-106ED in Australia......well, I had that data set and decided to go ahead and process it. The data consisted of 69 RGB images @120s taken with an FLI PL16803. This was a perfect data set to use Drizzle Integration on because of the HUGE amount of stars filling a very wide field.

The Carina Nebula is also known as The Grand Nebula and lies at a distance of 8,500 light-years from Earth and is one of the largest diffuse nebulae in our skies, being 4 times larger and also brighter than the Orion Nebula. It lies in the Southern constellation Carina. There are so many different structures within the nebula, including the star Eta Carinae, Homunculus Nebula, Keyhole Nebula, Defiant Finger, Trumpler 14 , Trumpler 15, Trumpler 16, Mystic Mountain, WR 22, WR 25, HD 93129, HD 93250, and HD 93205...just to name a few.

Anyway, hope ya like it!......sure is RED!

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
