Summary

Description
English: The Carina nebula lies in the constellation Carina. It includes two stars that are surround by a bright red nebulos cloud. This object lies 7500 to 8000 light years away. North is to the right.

I reprocessed the data using Maxim DL to calibrate, align, stack and stretch to give a better result. I used HaRBG, but next time I will just try a clear filter for the luminance. The image is uncropped and covers 2.7 by 2 degrees of the sky.

Data: 3 x 60sec 6nm Hydrogen alpha 3 x 60sec Red 2 x 60sec Green (one had to be discarded) 3 x 60sec Blue

All with x2 binning (more by mistake than design).
