Carina Core NGC3372

Carina Core NGC3372
This was not a target I was after but this was away from the moon light. The filter does a good job of removing the moon light as long as you are looking AWAY from the moon. So as my real targets are right next to the rising moon I have to do a few away.

This is the closest view of Carina I have taken this now means I have used all my camera's and Lens to capture this huge Nebula to get differing views. . The learning curve also extends to the Editing process as well that is an on going learning curve. Enjoy the Jewel of the Southern hemisphere. this is the one visible Nebula if you are away from the city lights you can see with your naked eye if someone shows you where it is.

This goes to show the camera do make a difference the first three photo including the main where all taken on the same telescope only difference is the size of the sensor, main 1" , first PIP nikon FF second PIP ZWO Dx crop sized sensor. Glad that the results are worth the View . I do hope your 2023 started well like ours.

If you read the comment I sent to Nick you can see just how fascinating it is just changing sensor size changes the view by huge margins. there is so much out there its time to think on longer Focal length.

Very well done Steve another fascinating capture, in the centre of the main image there is something that looks like a pinnacle with cloud around the summit. Only a few years ago this would have been amazing coming from an observatory on some remote mountain

I know just what you mean I was looking in books as a kid I sent those memories to bed with these images I am getting from my home from inside my house as I run the computer outside from my desk top. the part you are talking about is what Carina get its main name from it is Known as the Key hole nebula the Key hole is in theat very piece. this is in my yard next to the shed as its a rental I cant change the shed to make it removable and mount inside.

For most people I totally understand just what you mean the shapes and colours out there. There will be a huge shift in my photos once I get a Black and white camera and start using coloured filters that show up the elements that make up these nebulas. I hope you also had a good new year and the whole year remains that way to.
