I revisited the wider field of the Carina Nebula during the new moon period of March capturing both narrowband for HOO on the nebula and RGB for better looking stars. This time around I am using the QHY268M camera with APS-C size sensor and the Antlia filters.
This is the standard HOO version with RGB stars.

This is after applying narrow band normalisation to the nebula, then the RBG stars added back in.
