Eta Carina (Ha + 60Da)

I was finally able to get out and do some imaging last night, it has felt like ages.

I've not really done any proper Ha imaging before, other than quickly testing the Astronomik 12nm Ha clip-in filter when I bought it. So, I figured I would give it a go.

Ofcourse it had to be Eta Carina

This is 90 mins total (9x10), no darks or flats.
Stacked in Astroart v5 and tweaked a little in Photoshop.

Gear used:
Stellarvue SV70ED, Orion 2" Field Flattener, Astronomik 12nm Ha filter, Canon 60Da
Orion ST80, QHY5, EQMOD, PHD

The night was very clear and stable, but there was a lot of dew.
I also had many drama's with the software which ate up a few hours.
After getting everything sorted, the mount had a moment at the end of one sub and the beginning of the next, ... not such a huge loss, except now the FOV had changed considerably so I had to discard 60 mins of subs

Anyway, here's my first Ha attempt, I hope you like it
