The area around Eta Carinae has so many jewels that
it's difficult to know what target to pick.
Aren't we lucky in the Southern hemisphere?
I was going to target the Running Chicken nebula but then I realised
I could get both of these nebulas in one frame.

I only managed a puny 55 minutes of integration time
before the clouds came rolling in.
The weather forecast said clear & was wrong once again.
The field was very busy with so many stars & I had to
reduce their brightness or they would have overtaken the nebula.

5 x 5 minutes of Luminance binned 1x1
2x5 minutes each of RGB binned 2x2.

I wonder if this is worth pursuing with more data?
All comments welcome.
