NGC 3199 - Reflection Nebula in the constellation Carina

For the First Light of the Gemsbock Observatory, my own remotely operated observatory at Rooisand Desert Ranch in Namibia, I picked out the nebula NGC 3199. After taking the nebula with a color camera at Chamäleon Observatory I wanted to try the processing a “familiar” object with a mono camera.
