This image was taken with a 102mm SVBony refractor from my Bortle 5 backyard here in Geelong. It’s taken in narrowband with SHO filters, about 30 exposures of 180 seconds. The Carina nebula is often the most imaged nebula in the Southern skies, being so large and so dramatic. You can see that even in a relatively short time (1.5hrs) how much data can be pulled out once the image was stacked and edited in Pixinsight. This image was processed as a typical SHO mapped to the RGB channels.
