NGC 3372 – The Great Carina Nebula
Really happy to grab some images in partnership with Kaptas Attila on the Great Carina Nebula region as well as the NGC 3324 open cluster. This was my take with some RGB stars in an SHO blend. Some amazing structures, clusters, and dark nebula regions across this great target.
