Astronomy and Astrophotography by Michael Booth. I live in the south of Tasmania and in the breaks between the cloudy days and nights I like to get outside and enjoy observing and photographing the night sky.

Eta Carina Nebula and NGC3293
Images taken here, first of the Eta Carina at a very approximate 9000 light years, Then with Eta Carina just off centre to include a smaller open star cluster, NGC3293, a very approximate 8400 light years and then the last picture with NGC3293 central just in proximity to a peripheral part of the Eta Carina Nebula. Each image comprises 5 X 2min raw frames, stacked and processed in Nebulosity and Photoshop and taken with a modified Canon 450D and Skywatcher ED80 telescope.
