▴ETA CARINAE
Mervyn Millward
Clouds and bushfire smoke tried their best to ruin this shot,
but Mervyn persisted to complete the 3x3 mosaic of Eta
Carinae and the surrounding region. He used a Takahashi
Mewlon 250mm CDK Cassegrain reflector and QSI 683
camera. Each of the nine images comprised 10 × 300
seconds of luminance and RGB.
