Carina Nebula NGC3372

Carina Nebula NGC3372
my aim was to get in a photo the whole of this large nebula. this was taken with the Nikon 300mm F4 D lens. this is the largest nebula in the milky way if you are out in the real dark you can see this with your eyes. middle of the bow you can see the red of Carina.

Nilgen Look out


the first was ED80 and Full frame

Carina NGC3372- Do look at this large

next was ED80 zwoasi071mc. this is the only photo to include the whole nebula in detail.

The sheer magnitude and beauty of space is magical.

It is never lost on me just what is out there and the very fact that I can get some of them with quite basic and moderate gear. most would not shoot it this way but I prefer to shoot it as a single shot if I can Panoramas are always at the risk of being out of place. I am happy to bring space alive on Ipernity just as much as Ko is bring a whole other side alive I cant get. my next planned target is the Iconic Southern Cross , the coal sack and the pointers. I just need the clear days. glad you like the shot.

thank you its been a real process to get and all the learning under my belt to be able to get an image like this and next big step edit. for a person who is not a person who like to edit more than 30 sec deep space has been a real challenge as there is no fast and easy edit of any thing at all. does not help to have a slow computer either so it a case of learn to live with it. Just have to wait for the stars clouds and rain to align.
