Eta Carina widefield

Here is a widefield shot of the most beautiful part of the Southern Skies.

The main nebula surrounds the super massive star Eta Carina which is one of the most massive stars known. It has already blown its lid once - hence all that nebula and is quite unstable.

It may supernova at any time and if it did it would be extremely bright in our skies.

Greg,
That image had me staring at it way too long! Truly spectacular. That camera and lens combo plus your processing skills have made some real magic. I would have thought you would have spent hours more to get that.
