new white light Humunclus nebula image

Hi all
After imaging thors helment nebula I thought Id push things and put on a 2x converter to image the Humunclus Nebula around the star Eta carina. With the modded 350D's IR sensitivity, I only needed 8 sec shots to correctly expose the Humunclus.
8x8 sec shots ISO 200, F11.2, 10 inch F5.6 newt. no filters, Hutech Modded 350C camera, stacked in IRIS
I then unsharp masked it a bit and upsampled it 2x in Photoshop.
Id imaged this before with my Ha filter on without the 2x converter, this is the first ever white light image of the Humunclus Ive ever taken.
