Okay, so this is the #CarinaNebula or #EtaCarinaNebula ( #NGC3372). A stunning, bright nebula near the #SouthernCross. It’s HUGE — larger and brighter than the Orion Nebula but doesn’t get quite as much attention because it’s most visible in the southern hemisphere.

My favourite region is in the bottom right — looks like a ribbon, and it’s beautiful.

This is a 9-panel #Mosaic taken using a #SkyWatcher #ED80 telescope in Ha and Sii, and stitched together with #PixInsight.

Total exposure time is something like 40+ hours.

So I guess y'all been waiting for that aurora sequence. Not long now. Here's a peek where maybe some bioluminescence is happening in the whitewater of the breaking waves.

Aurora from Park Beach
