During my May 2013 Sutherland trip I photographed a lot of targets. As the Milky Way core was rising, Carina was setting. I managed to get a few images in before she set but left the data unedited the last few months as I was frustrated with some PixInsight processes. I revisited my last edit, and after using the MorphologicalTransformation process I’m happy to call it “done”.

Same image, a little more attention a few months later… a much better result.

20 min, Carina Nebula
