I can't fit Eta Carina in my scope's FOV, so I'm going to sample sections over time. I took this last night, so lots of light around from the Moon besides the normal LP.

Not amazing, but it felt good to actually get out and get *some* data! :)

Looks good. Nice tiny stars considering the focal length. Seeing must have been good, despite the moon.

Thanks guys. Actually I do remember thinking to myself that it was pretty good seeing - I couldn't see star twinkle and there was little wind around.
