Eta from the burbs

A couple of good clear nights in Melbourne for a change
So I managed to get a couple of golden oldies.
First up Eta Carinae.
50 subs at 60 secs each, 1600 ISO using my Canon and ED80.
Taken from light polluted Melbourne. Did NOT use LP filter, just UV/IR cut.
I was impressed with the image (almost a 3 D look if you squint hard enough )
The 100% zoom on the homunculcus region lost a lot of detail through compression, but again, just use your imagination....
Comments welcome.
