Deeeeeep Inside the Keyhole

Well, what does one do when the clouds are floating and appearing at will with clear sky in between...but the seeing is bloody excellent

Pick something bright that doesn't require weeks of exposure

This is a combination of 1sec, 5sec, 20sec and 3min exposures...many ruined by clouds but I persevered .....

This is an 1120mm FL F3.8 fast Newt at 600m ASL not a long FL RC at 2200m in the Andes .... soooo I am pretty Happy with the outcome

Very happy with the level of detail and really wanted to show the Homunculus without looking unnatural...hopefully I have done this...?

Deep inside the Keyhole

The mighty star - Eta Carina (the major axis of the twin lobed ejecta bubble is only 17 arc sec)
