Description

NGC 3199 The Banana Nebula is an emission nebula in the constellation Carina, some 11.7 ly from ius.It is about 75 lu across. The nebula is classed as a diffuse nebula embedded with a Wolf-Rayet star, which locates near the center of the ring. 

I found this image very challenging to work, as I had no idea there was so much of almost pitch black dark dust around it. It would most likely been easier if taken LRGB. On the first iteration I ended up with redblue colouring. I oversharpened the picture a bit also. That becomes visible when exporting the pic from Lightroom bss low res.

Stars I took again as RGB, but to be honest, maybe I work the 2nd iteration with NB stars, or then I have to figure out a way to shimmer 3/4's of them!
