Eta Carinae NGC3372

I just took this image tonight. I thought I would try setting up my MPCC on my 200mm Newt and surprise surprise my 350D achieved focus straight off. I will try it again on my 254mm Newt soon and see if it works on that too.
It's a prime focus single unguided 10sec exposure at ISO800 processed in Photoshop5.5. I was surprised to see any nebulosity on the shot being as it was a full moon tonight.

Amazing. You're inspiring me to get an EQ mount (and to learn to polar align!)

Great shot Steve, another beauty with some nice colour present.

Cheers
