Eta Carina fun run.

Still having problems but rather than using the clear sky to fix things I went with my usual short exposure approach.

Managed up to 60 seconds exposures by getting PA spot on.no guiding..but the distance from the sensor to the field flatner is causing ovals..cropped them mostly.

This is about 3 hours all up used all filters except S11 cause by 4 am I was beat.

Scope 80mm espirt on HEQ5 unguided stacked in DSS, processed in Star Tools, Photos Shop and Gimp.

Anyways to get something I stacked the lot and coloured in the result...no dark frames or flats...when everything is working I will be less slack ...so here is my artistic rendition.

When back in Sydney with time on my hands will process the data conventionally.
Look at the second one first...not sure about the first I did a number on the stars that does not seem to have worked.
