Carina First light ED 72 under almost full moon

[Nikolas]

After a loooooong time waiting for Auspost to find and resend me the scope and then waiting a further month for the right weather conditions and not being a worknight I finally managed some imaging of the Carina Nebula, under a 96% moon and windy conditions yesterday with the Optolong L-Enhance filter.
48 60 second, 15 120 second and 10 180 second exposures, the associated Darks, stacked in DSS 2x drizzle due to undersampling then resized and processed in Photoshop. It was a pain to work on the reds but I think I had it sorted as best as possible, The L-Enhance really brings out the HA in the nebula that's for sure.

When there is no full moon I'll give it another go just with the L-pro

Good to see the ASI294 getting a run Nik. I am still to get mine up and running properly. One technical issue here is some star elongation in the upper corners to be dealt with. You've captured some nice detail in the nebula whilst showing off the capabilities of the ASI294.

Yeah I noticed that, Even had the field flattener so it's probably 1 mm out somewhere in the imaging train. The optolong filter really brought out the reds.

Added a second version, Used Astropixelprocessor and some different Photoshop techniques I think this has a few more blues in it
