On Thursday, after five tries, I finally managed to capture NGC 3372 (the Carina Nebula) with a remote telescope at the Sydney Observatory. Why five? Because the observatory kept closing the roof every time, all week long, just a few hours before my session.

The integration is small: 10 minutes in L and 6.5 minutes in each RGB channel. No processing, just basic channel stacking. I don’t have time to finish the full edit yet, so I’m posting it as is.
