Object:NGC3372 The Eta Carina Nebula	Emission Nebula	Const.: Carina
Camera: STL11000M	Scope: TEC 200FL	Mount: AP1200
Filter(s): Hα	Exposure: 13x2m:13x2m:8x1m:8x1m	blank
The emission nebula NGC3372 in Carina, a.k.a. the Eta Carina Nebula. This image is a stack of 8 two minute exposures through an Hα filter with an SBIG STL11000M CCD camera on a TEC 200FL 8" f/8 refractor. The images were calibrated, stacked and wavelet sharpened using AIP4WIN V2.3.0. This image has been resampled down from its original size of 4008 x 2672.

 

Object:NGC3372 The Eta Carina Nebula	Emission Nebula	Const.: Carina
Camera: ST-10XME	Scope: Tele Vue NP101	Mount: AP1200
Filter(s): Hα:Hα:OIII:OIII	Exposure: 13x2m:13x2m:8x1m:8x1m	0.8x Focal Reducer
The emission nebula NGC3372 in Carina, a.k.a. the Eta Carina Nebula. North is to the right in this image. The luminance channel for this image is a stack of 13 two minute exposures using an Hα filter. The same Hα exposure was used for the red channel. A stack of 8 one minute exposures using an OIII filter was used for both the blue and green channels. All images were acquired with an ST-10XME CCD camera through a Tele Vue NP101 4" f/5.4 refractor with a 0.8x focal reducer. The images were calibrated, stacked and color-combined and automatically color-balanced using AIP4WIN V2. This image has been resampled down from its original size of 1092x736. This image was taken at the Lake Atitlán, Guatemala observatory of Adriana Sherman.

Filter(s): Hα	Exposure: 16x4m	TeleVue 0.8x Focal Reducer
NGC3372, the Eta Carina nebula. The image was taken at the Lake Atitlán, Guatemala observatory of Adriana Sherman on January 14th, 2005. This image is a stack of 16 four minute exposures using an ST-10XME CCD camera with a Hydrogen-alpha filter on a Tele Vue NP-101 101mm f/5.4 apochromatic refractor equipped with a 0.8x focal reducer. The image was calibrated, stacked and enhanced using AIP4WIN. It has been resampled down from its original size of 2184 x 1472.

Object: NGC3372	The Eta Carina Nebula Emission Nebula	Const.: Carina
Camera: Canon 10D	Scope: Tele Vue TV-60is	Mount: Vixen Sphinx
Filter(s): none	Exposure: 4x4m	blank
This color image of the Eta Carina Nebula(NGC3372) was acquired at the Winter Star Party with a Canon 10D Digital SLR camera. It was shot through a Tele Vue TV-60is with a field flattener and is a stack of 4 four-minute exposures that were stacked using AIP4Win V2. There is a slight elongation of the stars, illustrating the effects of atmospheric refraction due to the object's very low altitude.
