I didn't think I liked Eta Carina in broadband (I know, blasphemous!) but there's been a few images lately that have been thinking maybe I do, and this is another one.
Lovely rich colours. A very fine image. You just got that open cluster in the image at the top left.
Greg.
I feel like I need to spend another night and centre it more so on that cluster to get better star shaped up there and extend the image closer to NGC 3576.

Great work, Colin!
Thanks Lee
I’ve always preferred this region in broadband, same goes for M42. You’d have a good FOV for the central region
[QUOTE=Atmos;1467397]Well, this nebula is what I might call my standard candle, it’s the one I’ve shot with every telescope and every camera I’ve owned
It may have been intentional
I’ve done a fair bit of research into RR Lyrae Cepheids, using them to calculate the distance to a few globular clusters with my old trusty Nikon D700 and Meade 10 LX200
A spectacular image, Colin - fantastic colour, sharp and wide! Love it.
It's a pretty wide field Richard

Thanks Peter, I'm pretty happy with the ZWO camera but it's greatest downfall is frost on the sensor. Unlike all of my QHYs the ZWOs seem to suffer from frosty sensors when cooling. Still works well!
