Thanks for the positive comments everyone
I agree the star field is condensed , the result of good clean data and image scale after stretching. In hindsight I should have used the Magic module in Startools to shrink or hide most of the faint stars in the background giving the interstellar background more depth with the brighter stars, always learning !!
Colour was a bit disappointing too but it’s difficult object to get to colour balanced as Carina so enormous with so much detail everywhere
The most exciting thing about that nights imaging was getting out after what seemed like an eternity due to the terrible bush fires , and their not over yet !
Also my EQ6-R Mount does an incredible job especially carrying nearly 15kg of payload , it just tracks and guides beautifully. Dithering is a joy too , Dec recovers quickly ( 5 seconds ) not like my HEQ5 which could take minutes , must be the belt drive on the EQ6-R
Thanks again for commenting
