Eta Carinae

So this probably counts as my first astro photo through a scope. At least the first one I've processed. Picked it because it was high in the sky, plus should be a pretty simple target.

About 8 x 30 second exposures, Canon 700D DSLR, 8" f/5 newt. Light pollution is reasonably bad, plus I get a bit of star trailing with over 30 second exposures, so I'm not sure if that's normal if unguided or my polar alignment was a bit off. I'm reasonably happy with it, though clearly there is a way to go.
