NGC 3199 is located in the constellation Carina. Because of the form of this nebula it got the nickname The Banana Nebula. In the apparent center of the partial ring is a Wolf-Rayet star with the designation HD 89358. A Wolf-Rayet star is the remnant of a supermassive star that blew away half of its mass into the interstellar space and as such exposing its super hot core. The intense radiation of this hot core ionizes the previously ejected material; this would normally result in a bright ring nebula around the star. In this case there is not a complete ring but only a partly visible radiating nebula. This is caused by the original composition of the surrounding space as a recent (2017) study suggests.
I scheduled 30 missions through the Slooh Chili two telescope with a total exposure time of 55 minutes. The resulting FITS-files are combined and processed in PixInsight.
