Eta Carina - take-two!!!

Hi everyone,
Heres my second go at the carina neb since I was not happy with the first attempt due to my focus being a bit off, Soo here`s my second go.
Focus is much better though my collimation is still off...fixed up now thanks to Leon selling me a collimator!..!...
Seeing only average but very clear...
Details 12 x 4 min, 2 x Dfs, stacked in deepskystacker and processed in Ps
6" f/5.6 newt and modded canon 300d..
Comments most welcome..

Cheers Gary....

Pow!

Well it may only be home made and it may only be a 6" but it certainly packs a bit of a punch

Very nice work Gary, I like your interpretation of the colours.

Thanks for the feedback Guys!!!
Yes, I think I have the colors much more natural in this go. Its big and bright but its still a challenge to get the color balance etc just right, but getting closer!!
I shall make a bigger astrograph one day maybe a 8"..lol, but happy in how this little scope is performing!
Cheers and CS everyone
