Eta Carina
I had my first chance to image last night..full moon but who cares..was just happy to be imaging....it's been so long.
Image taken at my house Brisbane with the 20DA on the C11 with baeder UHC-2 filter.
I was also imaging through the lumicon giant easy guider that I find useless to guide with but I like the huge 80mm focal reducer which can be positioned in different area's altering the Focal ratio..anything between F4 - F7.5....so I will continue to use it for imaging and forget about guiding with it.
Total exposure time 12 minutes at approx F6 at focal length 1700mm
12 x 60 second Unguided exposure ISO 800
24 Bias frames
8 Dark frames
No Flats
All combined in ImagesPlus.
No noise reduction used.
Software used
DSLR Focus, Images Plus and PhotoshopCS
Pretty happy with the image even though there are small star trails due to my pathetic polar alignment.
