Eta with a difference

I am currently commissioning the RC12 after the change over of rotator focuser and new FitPC4. I am still not entirely happy with the guiding and the star shapes. Things are close enough though to produce an image of the perennial favourite.

The image is composed of SII, Ha, OIII and LRGB. I am sure there will be a few that don't like this look, but I tried to maintain the integrity of the traditional palette with detail of the Hubble palette.

I took some short subs to include the homunculus too. For reference I did 20 second images, but as you can see it would be better to do 5 second shots due to the brightness of the Eta Carina.

I hope you enjoy the image.
