The Carina Nebula was created by Peter Kennett

Last night I managed to image the Carina Nebula in NB.

Subs were 60 seconds each:
- 50 in Ha mapped to green
- 30 in OIII mapped to blue.
- 30 in SII mapped to red.

WO Star 71, iOptron CEM25P, ASI 1600 MM, Moonlight auto focus, Lodestar X2 guider OA.

I am going to grab some RGB images to replace the NB stars.

Great pic! Very sharp and lots of details. Well done!

Question: how do you manage to take 110 subs of 60 minutes each in one night?

Yikes! That was supposed to be 60 seconds! :)
I just edited it. Thanks for the catch!

Haha OK great. Still, managing to collect 11 h of data on a single object in one night is impressive!
