NGC 3372 - Carina Nebula
I started out by attempting to stack multiple data sets that are available through Telescope.Live, but found some strange artefacts by doing so. I instead opted to stack the 1.5hrs set of narrowband data taken on 1st April, 2020.
I ran the individual channels through StarNet++ before combining and processing them in Photoshop. It took a while to get the colours how I like them!
There's a lot of nice detail in the dark nebulosity - I really like this dataset!
