a fairly hi res view of the eta carina nebula - a few Boks

Hi

finally had some gold plated seeing - a bit below 1.5 arcsec and it stayed that way for over 2 hours . Didn't need much processing, just a bit of sharpening and tidying of stars (had a little bit of flexure and had to image with 3 minute subs to keep it under control). Maybe overdid the sharpening a bit at the expense of noise, but it was so exciting to finally see some whispy fine detail coming out of an image that I couldn't get my foot off the accelerator .

The detail looks a bit untidy in places, but seems to be consistent with that in higher res images - particularly pleased with the Bok globules. This is a slightly enlarged crop (0.829arcsec/pix) from a larger image - thought it looked interesting this way.

thanks for looking. regards Ray
