Eta Carina 6" APO on Earth vs 2.4m RC in space

Click on image to see other versions

Like all such comparisons the Hubble data is not full res but it is
still great fun to compare :-P

The image on the right was taken with a 6" F7.5 Apochromatic refractor with a 1300mm FL.
It is an extreme enlargment of a small section of the original full frame image. The image
on the left was taken from space with the Worlds greatest scientific instrument
- The Hubble Space Telescope!
