I recommend seeing this on Astrobin for full resolution goodness: https://app.astrobin.com/i/n29lj8

The full image is much larger but due to missing frames, I had to crop in quite a bit. Hoping to finish it in the next month. Thage has part of the wishing wellc luster, the Carina Nebula (along with Eta Carinae/Keyhole nebula), and the Gabriela Mistral nebula (Cosmic Cliffs).

I just gave a talk at the Boston Museum of Science and this region of the sky was the centerpeice of it with some cool transitions which I'll turn into a short video on YouTube later tonight/tomorrow: https://www.youtube.com/naztronomy
