Default My version of NGC3372

The ESO recently released on image of NGC3372, the Eta Carina nebula. You may have seen it on Universe Today or NASA APOD.

Here is my version. This is in the "Hubble Palette" so the colors are different from the ESO version, but the core details are the same.

Best regards,

Tom

Hello Tom:
This photography yours of Eta Carina is an excellent work.
The APOD of today has too much saturation, seems to me.
Congratulations !!!
Many greetings
Cesar

Hi Tom...that's just such a 'sweet' composition of Eta Carina....

Yours and yesterday's APOD / ESA's are both special. To me, they are both magical.
Thank you for sharing.

Super! a Wow factor of 10. Lots of hrs but worth every second of it. Both the narrow and rgb images looks great. A keeper it is, Job Welldone Tom. Clear Skies

Tom,

That's a fantastic shot. Great nebular detail, and I like how you have used the Hubble Palate. The colors look and reveal detail, but don't overwhelm.
