Carina Nebula - NGC3372 - 5 x 3 deg FOV

Still on the learning curve capturing and processing Deep Sky images. This was taken in July this year but only now happy with the end result of processing.
Capture Details:
Standard EOS-R and FRA400 telescope on CEM40 mount with no guiding.
1 hour 27 minutes of data from 29 of 30 frames stacked.
DSS to check quality, Sequator to stack, then Starnet, Photoshop and Topaz to finish.
The field of view is 5 degrees x 3 degrees, so the area of sky covered by this photo is wide enough that 10 full moons could be stacked in a line across the width of this photo.
Carina Nebula (NGC3372) is a large star forming region visible in the southern night sky. The red clouds show one of the largest Hydrogen gas regions in the Milky Way.
Carina nebula is four times larger than the better known Orion Nebula that many know how to find in the night sky. But how many can find the Carina Nebula? If you are in the Southern hemisphere head outside and find the Southern Cross. Now find the two pointers. Imagine flipping the pointers to the other side of the Southern Cross and look for a bright spot in the Milky Way in this area. It may not be visible if you are in the city, but can be seen from rural skies.
This nebula was discovered by Nicholas Louis de Lacaille during a two year journey from France including one year based at the Cape of Good Hope in 1751 and 1752 where he charted positions of 9,800 stars in the night sky. Amazing considering he was using a 0.5 inch diameter refractor telescope with 26 inch focal length (660 mm). making the scope a very dim f52.
