Big Dob Eta

After a Cyclone decided to divert its path last week away from the Queensland coast we had a one night window of clear excellence which i took advantage of. Eta Carina seems to be the flavour atm and I have been wanting to have a crack so here is my first attempt. Due to the 2500mm focal length "Zamar" will always suffer from a small FOV but from what I have seen here , she does give a less common vista.. .. Details~ 239 x 2 sec subs and 30 darks stacked in Sequestor with post ed in photoshop. We managed to not blow out the Homologous whilst enhancing the surrounding Nebula. No temp or Hue changes were made. I could have cropped it a bit to reduce the coma at edge of field but would have lost the dark lane"elbow" and open cluster Trumpler 14! Critical feed back welcome as i want to improve !! Click image for larger version
