From a few weeks ago. This Southern Object is well imaged.
The massive star Eta Carina is one of the most massive known
and could go supernova at any time.

It has already spewed off massive volumes of gas as this image
shows.

TEC180FL, FLI PL16803, Baader LRGB, Astrodon 5nm Ha. Taken at my dark
site in NSW Australia.
