Benklerk Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Last image using my GSO 6" with the ZWO 1600mm (mono) camera. I'll be using my new wide field telescope with the 1600mm camera from now on. This is a quick image done over 1 month, because of weather and clouds. The Carina Nebula is a large, complex area of bright and dark nebulosity in the constellation Carina, and is located in the Carina–Sagittarius Arm. The nebula lies at an estimated distance between 6,500 and 10,000 light-years from Earth. The nebula is one of the largest diffuse nebulae in our skies. Although it is some four times as large and even brighter than the famous Orion Nebula, the Carina Nebula is much less well known due to its location in the southern sky. Eta Carinae is a highly luminous hypergiant star. Estimates of its mass range from 100 to 150 times the mass of the Sun, and its luminosity is about four million times that of the Sun.

Steve I live about 1000m above sea level. So we do get fog and low cloud often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
