Unhappy Carina Nebula

Hi Guys

Recently bought a new EQ8 R Pro and after weeks of rain / cloud had a chance to PA it. The attached image is 29, 5 second subs, stacked in APP and slightly colour modified in Affinity Photo.

I think the 5 second subs were a bit short - still trying to find what works, the scope is an Edge 1100 HD with a Hyperstar attached bringing to down to 560mm FL and F1.9, sure beats the 300 second subs with a Celestron reducer.

The camera is an ASI2600MC,

I know a trend is to reduce the number of stars but to me it just reinforces the size and majesty of space.

Swapped out the image, this is better but a lot is lost in translation.
