Inferno Showcasing the B&C telescope situated at Mount John Observatory, a 61cm RC usually operated at F6.25. It's a student favourite because it takes the best photos off all the telescopes at the observatory, while also being the easiest to use.

Yeah, the Carina nebula image is just inside the milkyway. But for example this image shows lots of milkyways very very far away colliding (will take billions of years to actually settle though).

The milkyway is the band of light that passes through our sky, and in it are lots and lots of nebulae. The main red one you see is the nebula that JWST photographed a tiny portion of.

Cheers. Having photographed the Carina nebula so much I instantly recognised it. Here is the first (true colour) image in the sequence, which didn't get much screen time,but shows the region best.

🌟Starlit Akaroa 🌟 An awesome view of the Milkyway rising over the small town of Akaroa here in the South Island of New Zealand. I'm incredibly proud of this image, and it's 100% my favourite landscape shot to date :D #milkyway
