Side Of Carina

This started as a simple project in the shot below you can see the area of the photo to the right of the main Carina Nebula. This part is not very often a target as the main nebula is the more famous part so it captures the lime light. it was easy for me to take the photo as I was able to rotate the main part out of the picture.

 

Its not till the first mornings edit that I saw there is more to this part of the sky than we realize. The more I looked at the shot and after putting it in a vertical format it stood out a mile. You can make out "Trumps" Hair, nose, mouth, chin in profile. What I find even more interesting we can even see it was predicted that his right ear would be bloodied. I did not want to spend too much time on this in case it raise tariffs that I did not know about, dare I say "Trump" Nebula. What really shows it up is the Starless version. I am constantly Amazed by what comes out of looking out into space who would have thought this.

 

This was put together in the Hubble pallet but using the Foraxx pallet version which removes the excess green and you get a more pleasant looking set of colours. I like this time of year as the nights are getting longer and you get more shot in a night.
