Eta Carinae - First imaging session for a while

A rare clear night for Wet Season, Cairns...

Temperature was a balmy 26 Deg with 87% Humidity so... not ideal.

First time out for 2 months since having my spinal surgery... New mount, first time imaging with a Newt... didn't all go quite as planned.. Target was supposed to be Horsehead but, I had some power supply issues which, after sorting, I decided to just go with a simple approach on Eta Carinae.

Must remember to reread Intervalometer instructions... might actually have half a clue what I'm doing then...

Processed at 1:30am because I am impatient.. might have another go at processing tomorrow.. I'm not so happy with how this looks... My Subs look okay.. not great, but, okay... my processed image just looks a bit soft to me...

About 1 hr of data at ISO 800, 90 Sec Subs, unguided + 10 Darks
Canon EOS 70d
Vixen R130SF
SW AZEQ 6
DSS, Startools & Affinity Photo

Please let me know what you think & where I can/need to improve.

Thankyou for looking
