Eta Carina

Turned the new scope to Eta Carina earlier this evening.
I managed to capture 18 minutes of 20sec subs @ ISO 800 before it sank behind the trees. Hoping to add more data soon to subdue the noise.;)

You're having great fun with that newtonian Jeanette, aren't you! Excellent image. I like the colours! :thumbsup:

Very nice start JJJ. I love the way the DSLR brings out the OIII. It is already quite a pleasing image but will improve with more exposures.

Well done.

Nice image, Jeanette:D

Like the colours and the detail in the image. Pity you didn't get more subs.

[Alchemy]

nice and sharp, from aprocessing point of view you could raise the black point a bit to give it a bit more punch. but other than that... its looking good.

I'll echo what the others have said JJJ.. Looks very nice indeed!!
I'm with Clive on raising the black point a touch to boost the contrast a bit, but other than that, a fine image!

[jjjnettie]

Took your advice and darkened the image a tad.
Thanks for looking.:)
