Yet another E. Carinae

[ChrisD]

I've imaged E.C. numerous times and never been happy enough with the results to post on IIS. However, I've acquired a new camera and Optolong filter, and well, it was worth it.

Given that I'm looking at Bortle 5 skies, I'm happy with the level of fine detail in the nebula.

I've learned a lot from criticism of earlier images posted here, SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW ANY PROBLEMS YOU SEE OR AREAS I CAN IMPROVE.

That is a real nice rendition!
Eta Carinae is in such a rich star field, I reckon the sheer amount of stars overpowers the nebulosity quiet a bit. I like the way you have tamed those stars and bought out nice Ha details!

Very nice! :)
