Eta Carinae with two balloons ??
Last Friday night I was at a star party in Leeuwenbosch, South Africa and one guy showed me Eta with his C14 using 150x power. I saw two small balloons attached to the star and thought it was an optical error. But the guy said, no, this is real, these are lobes around the star. I looked up Eta with a 30cm Dobson and saw the same. Even with my ED110 and 128 power I saw these balloons but much fainter (smaller aperture of course).
I was amazed I have never seen this before.
Did anyone see this with a scope ?
