Stars everywhere

Here's 4 panels of 40min each from last night in Infrared on the eta carina nebula area. Pretty wide field stitched together with Registar. Camera was QHY9 on FSQ106N with G11/Lodestar OAG. 20x2min subs. Gotta work out the bandpass better so I can go longer subs and not bloat the stars. At the moment I just cut off anything before 740nm but collect everything onwards. I have a set in the mail to cut off around 10nm bands increments which should allow me to do tri-color palettes.

Seeing was pretty good. Moon was up but it didn't seem to bother the southern side of the sky too much. Clouds rolled in heavily around 1:00am.

I have a 70% version here [8MB]
and a HD version here [2MB]

Enjoy the view.
