NGC 3372 - Carina Nebula

This is just 2 hours worth of data. The Carina nebula can only be seen from the southern hemisphere and I hope to one day get this image with my own telescope. I got some time on AUS-2 to get this image. I guess it goes to show you the difference between taking images from a dark sky and the city.

I used some of the newer techniques I've been developing for reducing the stars and making sure they're not bloated and overpowering. As well as some new tools and techniques for removing the noise and bringing out the finer structures. In the end I dunno it just turned amazing, you can see the oxygen clouds floating over the hydrogen and sulfur clouds, and all the fine details around the Gabriela Mistral nebula down in the lower right-hand side, it almost looks like hair. This is definitely one that I will be printing.
