This is my first attempt at Eta Carinae, taken on Feb 23, during my very first attempt at astrophotography with a telescope and DSLR camera - WO GT102 and Nikon D850. I had no reducer/flattener and forgot my 4" spacer, so I experimented and finally managed to achieve focus by inserting the camera into the WO diagonal. A cardinal sin but it seemed to work, despite the unconventional image train!
Capture software, BYN.
It was a newbie's luck too as I managed to get Omega Centauri, 47 Tucanae, the Tarantula nebula, and, the Orion Nebula, all on this same evening. Someone whispered in my ear, at the end of the night, 'Of course, you're never going to be lucky like this again...' A sobering thought.
Three stacked 30-second exposures at ISO 3200 and edited in PS.
Cheers,
