Hi Everyone
Eta was my secondary deep sky target at this years IISAC with IC4603 being the primary target.
This image has only 51 minutes of data. I balanced for IC4603 which was rising in the east and Eta was close to the meridian, leaving me around 20 degrees of mount tracking to capture some subs. I could of set up for both targets and re balanced but I was just really focused on the primary target.
Taken with the C11 Edge hd at F2 using the Hyperstar lens and Canon 60Da iso 800.
50 x 60 sec subs for the field , 28 x 5 sec subs for the stars combined with Pixisights HDR composition tool. Calibrated with darks, Bias and flats.

Had lots of fun chatting with Hugh, Jason and Trevor while capturing the data, also shot some nightscapes during the process too. Cant wait for IISAC 2015
I hope to have IC4603 posted soon I'm just battling with some strange light streaking which I suspect is Antares doing
.
Thanks for looking
Rod
