Yeta-nother Eta Carinae nebula

Can we ever have enough of it

This was my first experiment with exposures of this kind of length, using my little WO Zenithstar 71mm (with reducer/flattener) and Canon 1100D on an EQ6 at SPSP. While unpacking my stuff back at home, I realised I hadn't used the spacer between scope and camera

15x 20s exposures, stacked in DSS, then tweaked to enhance the colours. I'd like to try longer exposures next but not sure what I should expect from my mount

Any tips/feedback appreciated!
