Eta Carina and The horse

Hi guys..

Here is my first real take on LRGB imaging.

I first started imaging the Horse Head about 6 months ago.
Started with RGB. At the time i didnt know anything about different filters having different focal lengths and the result as u can see are swollen stars and the colours not quite lining up.
RGB data was only 5 min for each channel
Ha data was gathered a couple of weeks back for a total of 2hrs.

The result image is composed as follows:
Luminance is HaRGB combined all in greyscale.
R Ha
G Green
B Blue

I also had a quick go at Eta Carina
Ha: 45min
RGB 15min each
combined as:
L(HaRGB), R, G, B

Focus was better this time round but is still an issue that needs to be resolved

Any advice / Criticism is welcomed.
thanks for looking

Johnny

Ps: The colours for the Horse Head Nebula look off, possibly due to the upload compressions process.
