Hello from the other side -Eta Carinae Nebula (NGC 3372)

The Eta Carina Nebula is famous for his name-giving massive double monster star system (more than 100 and 80 solar masses, 4-5 million-times more luminous than the sun), well known for his star forming regions and ultra-hot, massive/short living stars. However the region also lies in a neighbouring arm of our galaxy… the Carina-Sagitarius arm lays next to our Orion-Arm (in fact it is one arm closer to the center).. We are lying in the inner rim of the Orion arm… so the Eta-Carina nebula is sending us greetings directly from
the ‚other‘ side (see second post in comments).. and maybe soon a great Supernova explosion.

84 min r,g,b; 168min l with SLOOH Chile2, automatic processing, Topaz (sharpening) and Lightroom (final adjustments).

Image 2: Position of the Eta Carina Nebula in the Milky Way. The distance to the sun is between 6500-10000 Lj.. (yes we do not know it better!) Region is marked ‘red’ in the image from Wikipedia
