Martin,

You've come a long way in a short amount of time.

Great images. I'd recommend you using flat frames, as the vignetting is quite evident in the Eta Carinae shot.

Well done.

Regards,
Humayun

Thank you Humayun.

These images were taken yesterday and the day before yesterday with the full moon up.
I didnt think i would get anything out of it so i didnt take any flatframes :(

That is a full on image of Eta C, you got a lot of detail there.

You can also do a flatten background with either CCDstack or Gradient Xterminator.

Greg.

Both very nice shots well done
i think all I would suggest is a bit of curves, very slightly, in photoshop, or a hint of contrast
very nice shots
well done

great shots Mill - a full screen full on view of Eta.

IMHO maybe just a tad more contrast - the blacks a bit blacker.

none-the-less very inspirational as I await the cash to dive in to auto guiding!

Thank you Niko.

Ahhhhh cash is the stuff we all need :)
Will try the contrast and the darker back ground.
