Carina Nebula area with surrounding clusters NGC 3532, Football Cluster, at left and NGC 3293, Gem Cluster at right (small and unresolved here). Emission nebulas NGC 3576/79 complex at lower left. Taken from San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, May 2011 with Canon 7D (unmodified) and 135mm Canon telephoto lens at f/2.8 for stack of 5 x 2 minute exposures at ISO 1250.
The Carina Nebula, NGC 3572, and surrounding clusters, embedded in high haze adding the glow effect, accentuating star colours. To the upper left is NGC 3532, the Football Cluster. To the upper right is NGC 3293, the Gem Cluster To the lower left is the nebula complex NGC 3576/81. This is a stack of 4 x 6 minute exposures at f/4 with the Borg 77mm astrograph (300mm focal length) and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800. Taken from Coonabarabran, Australia, March 2014.
The spectacular region of sky around the Carina Nebula, NGC 3372, in Carina, with its adjacent nebulas and open star clusters. NGC 3532, the Football Cluster is at left, while NGC 3293, the Gem Cluster, is at upper right. At far right is the ear-lobed shaped Crescent Nebula, NGC 3199, a remnant of a Wolf-Rayet star and its stellar winds. This is a two-panel mosaic, with each panel a stack of 4 x 6-minute exposures with the Borg 77mm f/4 astrographic refractor and filter modified Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600. Stitched in Photoshop. Shot April 3/4, 2016 from Tibuc Cottage, Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia. Autoguided with the SBIG SG-4 guider.
