You have every reason to be pleased Ivo, splendid image. The subtle rendering of the outer halo helps to give the central galaxy detail an almost 3D effect.

Captured NGC 3372 Carina Nebula for the second time this year , however instead of centre framing the object , I decided to focus on one of the outer arms of this gigantic nebula for a different aspect as the FOV on my rig only captures about 50% of the whole nebula.
Captured over 2 nights ( just over 6 hours integration)
Waning Moon 50% to 25%
Seeing conditions average

Only my second attempt of this wonderful emission nebula NGC 3576 in Carina
First time was with my 2600MC OSC back in 2022
Captured over 2 nights under Bortle 8 skies and a full moon , the Antlia 3nm filters were really put to the test . I was very happy with the level of detail using 3 min subs however star cores were still blown out to some degree . 2 min subs may have been a better option. One thing I’m finding with the 2600MM , you don’t need really long subs when using medium sized Newt , even with Narrowband filters , this camera is so sensitive.
