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 wollte ich mich in die Bearbeitung eines “bekannten” Objekts mit einer Monokamera wagen.
Chosen as Astrophoto of the month march 2025 from Astronomie.de.
