NGC3372 - Carina Nebula

Link: https://www.grahamconaty.com/ngc3372-carina-nebula-sho

NGC3372, also known as the Carina Nebula, is a bright, large emission nebula surrounding the star Eta Carinae, located in the southern constellation Carina.

It is one of the largest diffuse nebulae known, one that contains several open star clusters.

The Carina Nebula lies in the Carina-Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way, at a distance of between 6,500 and 10,000 light-years from Earth.

NGC3372 is exceptionally large, about four times the size of the Orion Nebula (Messier 42) and spans about 460 light-years in diameter.

Captured via a remote telescope in the Rio Hurtado Valley in Chile, South America this image consists of 1hr 30 minutes of total integration using a combination of Sulphur, Hydrogen and Oxygen filters.

This was my first time processing data from a remote telescope and a fantastic opportunity to capture data using observatory grade equipment.

It might be another month or so before I get can back to imaging from the backyard but, in the meantime, having access to a remote telescope gives me the opportunity to keep capturing data and to keep sharing images.

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.
