Description

The Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) is an unlikely target to shoot from the Northern hemisphere. But in my latitude, it does show up just a little bit (about 5 degrees at the meridian) for a short time in certain months. So I have the idea to take this shot for a couple of weeks, when I did travel to a high elevation dark site I miscalculated the height of the rail and it was right in front of my telescope. Adjusting everything took some time and eventually, I only got 30 minutes of data. Thankfully the nebula is bright enough and at 2700m elevation the atmosphere is thin enough to bring out the image.
