Eta Carinae now with Ha, OIII added

One of the "problems" with imaging Eta Carinae in SII luminance is that the longer wavelength of the SII emission can cut through the dark nebulae in the region and reduce contrast in these areas.

By merging separate HaRGB and OIIIRGB images with the SIIRGB image, the dark regions are preserved.
