WIP Eta Carinae and the Carina Nebula images

 The following image is a work in progress set of narrowband images of the Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) taken with iTelescope T33 over three 30-minute sessions on 4/2/25, 4/425 and 4/5/25.

A standard Hubble SHO palette is used, so SII emission is red, H-alpha is green, and OIII emission is blue. No noise reduction other than the improved signal-to-noise afforded by image stacking (7x 3-minute H-alpha images, 6x 3-minute OIII images, and 9x 3-minute SII images).
