Eta Carina with infrared added >720nm

The el-cheapo Chinese 720nm infrared filter arrived in the mail so thought I'd have a much about with Eta Carina since it's bright. I took 100x30 seconds at >720nm and 21x30 seconds with a UV / IR cut filter and combined them, using a Canon full spectrum 1100D. I used two different combining methods, one with the IR batch stacked onto the er.. luminance frame as luminance, and another with the IR batch added to the red channel.

I suspect there is some Ha bleed through in the IR filter as it cost a whopping $10, including freight. But not that much as it's much weaker in Ha than my Ha filter.

Through the GSO 10" F4.

Edit... Added the IR stack alone for comparison.
