Description

This image shows much detail in the center of the Eta Carina nebula as well as the Homunculus around Eta Carina itself at the top of the picture. Eta Carina was so bright that it bloomed the ST10 chip in only 10-second integrations at a focal length of 4800mm giving 0.3 arcseconds per pixel. Its very bright! This image was created from 60 x 10-second images.
