Hi all

Last night i had an attemp to image Eta Carinae, only go in two frames at 3.00 minutes each as clouds were rolling in pretty fast.

I know it's not to flash, but i hope to improve as time goes on.

2 images @ 3.00 min's, processed in image plus, and some touch up in PS2, taken through the ED80, tracked on EQ5, no guiding.

Cheers leon

Wow, very nice Leon.
It has a nice contrast which gives it nice detail.

Getting better with each image mate.

Very nice Leon, very clear and detailed.
The clouds really know how to spoil a good time dont they.

Good one Leon.
Maybe there should be a first year images club:P

So many post great image here on IIS it is unreal:whistle:
To many great photo's to reply to them all but well done all who give it a go and share them.:thumbsup:

Some people could hardly use a scope a while ago now bingo super images.
I think I maybe a bit slower. I tended to pull the camera out of the focuser and put a eyepeice in:D
