NGC3372 the Eta Carina Nebula, with the Lambda Centaurus Nebula, Southern Pleiades, clusters NGC3532 and NGC3114. The image was taken from the Onizuke Center for International Astronomy Visitor Information Station on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. I used a 50 mm Nikkor lens at F/3.2 on a modified Nikon D5200 with Baader UVIR-cut filter. The mount was an Orion Mini EQ-1 with RA motor. The images is a cropped stack of 24 x 1 minute exposures at ISO1600.
