Gabriela Mistrel Nebula

NGC3324, commonly referred to as the Gabriela Mistral Nebula, is the roundish nebula bottom centre here. It's located in the constellation Carina, and the nebulosity you can see on the left hand side is the corner of the massive Eta Carinae Nebula that you may have seen before.

I'm pretty happy with this result. This will likely be the last image I take with the trusty ED80 refractor. I've upgraded to a TMB92SS and plan to sell the ED80. This is also my first Ha narrowband blended with the LRGB image. It really boosts the nebulosity signal in emission nebulae. All processing done in PixInsight too, no PhotoShop.

Looks nice. I would love if your flickr had a very large version. There is so many good things to shot in that part of the sky

Thanks mate. I tried to upload a 2000px version, but it didn't work for some reason.

I don't see pro next to your name so that may be it. When you pay for it you get to upload in any res you like. Its not alot a year.

I did this a few months ago. A bit more zoomed in though.

That's lovely mate. I'd like to try it with my 10" and get that close.

I am a pro level member of Flickr. I think it has something to do with my export setting in LightRoom as I upload directly to Flickr from there.

Interesting. I've never tried that.

It's pretty cool. I think there's an inbuilt LR publishing tool for Flickr (and SmugMug, pBase etc I think). But I use one written by Jeffrey Friedl: http://regex.info/blog​/lightroom-goodies/flickr He has some very good stuff on his site.

Great shot...love it

Ok, 1600px wide version here.

Beautiful photo. A great way for a telescope to retire.

Thats better. Thats a really nice shot!
