Carina Nebula Awaiting Webb!
It's ALWAYS nerve-wracking waiting for professional photos to come in - and I bet nebulae are no exceptions!
The Carina Nebula is one of the five bodies that will be the subject of the first full-color images from the James Webb Space Telescope, being released on 12 July!
This inspired me to make a new composite image of the Carina Nebula, from Telescope Live data!
Recorded on 27 May 2021, processed as HSO, using APP and BeFunky.
SO EXCITED for the new Webb images!
Dataset from which the image was processed
NGC 3372
