LRGB image of the ETA Carina nebula.

4 hours integration time.

Equipment used:
QSI 683.
Skywatcher 10" F4 newtonian.
Skywatcher AZ-EQ6 mount.
Captured with Sequence Generator Pro.
Processed with PixInsight.

I'm still tweaking the image tilt with my new GPU coma corrector. It is a lot less forgiving that the MPCIII.

Looks good. Nice details and colors.

Nicely done.

Thank you for the nice comments.
The guiding had issues (intermittently stopped working in dec - new cable on way). Even then, the star shape is way better that what the MPCC provided in the corners.
The tilt in the top right corner is close, but no cigar, yet.

Focus looks really crisp.
I especially like your Homunculus region.
Nice work!
