Unusual Eta

[Hagar]

This is 7 hrs of Eta Carina captured with 7nm Ha filter fitted to Atik 11002M camera and squeezed to show up every spec of dust and gas.

Hope you enjoy.

Hi Marco, yes the scope is a Takahashi FSQ 106ED at f5. Camera is an ATIK 11002M with a Baader 7nm Ha filter.

Wonderful image Doug.

The fine wispy filaments around the edges are quite amazing.

That really is something, You think you'd seen eta before, and then something as spectacular as this hits you in the face. Just make you wonder what really is out there!

A stunning portrait Doug – well done for taking a walk off the well-trodden path on this one. This is quite an extraordinary cosmic scene; not to mention the stamina required for 7 hours worth of exposure.

Cheers

That's the first I have seen Of so much nebulosity etc. Great work.

I really am starting to dig these mono images Doug. That's stunning detail and extent.

Fantastic image Doug. So much nebulosity in the outlying areas.

[strongmanmike]

Hmmm the good'ol shadow highlights filter springs to mind here Doug ;).

Not bad, not bad, but for me ya just need to disguise the use of the SH filter a bit and it would be much betterer :)

nice,

think i'm starting to prefer black and white images more than colour.

the good ones appear to show more detail and less saturation than colour.

nice
