I took this back on the 10th of March.

It is our old friend the Eta Carinae Nebula.

This time with a SII/OIII filter (thanks for the suggestion, @malcircuit !) and 120x90s@80 for the exposures. Then I ran it through the Dwarflab star removal tool, and post-processed the result in Snapseed.

I was not going to post it, but it came up as a background on my office screen today (long story), and I had not realised just how much detail it had.

Eta Carinae – HD 93308

Eta Carinae is een massief dubbelstersysteem op een afstand van ongeveer 7500 lichtjaar in de richting van het sterrenbeeld Kiel – Carina. Het systeem bestaat uit tenminste twee uitzonderlijk zware sterren en is bevindt zich in de Homunculusnevel

What Caused Eta Carinae's 1840 "Great Eruption?"

In 1840, a seemingly innocuous star, Eta Carinae, suddenly brightened to become one of the brightest stars in the sky before slowly fading again. We now know that Eta Carinae is one of the most massive stars in the Milky Way, and this event - dubbed "the Great Eruption" - released 10 to 45 times the mass of the Sun into space. And yet, the star survived. What happened? The Chandra X-Ray Observatory has peered at the star and helped astronomers discover new details about the explosion and what might have led to this event.

Chandra ontdekt nieuwe details over de ‘grote uitbarsting’ van Eta Carinae

Met behulp van gegevens van de Chandra röntgentelescoop volgen astronomen de uitdijing van de röntgennevel rond Eta Carinae, een helder dubbelstersysteem bestaande uit twee massieve sterren (90 zonsmassa resp. 30 zonsmassa)

Watch as data from Hubble and the Chandra X-ray Observatory is used to create this 3D visualization of Eta Carinae, one of the most massive stars in our galaxy, known for its “Great Eruption” in the 1840s. Credit: NASA/ESA/STScI.

@jeffzugale Eta Carinae (aka Eta Carina) is really beautiful… and also extremely dangerous if its final explosion was oriented towards the earth…

Meanwhile, you can view it through multiple wavelengths with Aladin Sky Atlas and Aladin Lite.
