Eta Carona....

An HDR SHO (RGB stars) Eta Carina Nebula. Data taken on Wednesday (1/4) and Saturday (4/4) nights. As usual taken with a Skywatcher 8" Quattro Newtonian with a ZWO ASI1600MM-Pro (gain 200, -10º) on my EQ6-R. Processed entirely in PixInsight, with SII (120x5s, 40x180s) mapped to Red, Ha (450x2s, 30x180s) mapped to Green and OIII (120x5s, 30x180s) mapped to Blue. RGB stars each 60x5s.

A little bit fruitier than the HOO but hopefully kept the detail. Colours weren't tweaked an awful lot. I had an intention not to go too purple and blue but had to follow where the data went to a certain extent. Comments and criticisms always welcome.
