First post here, hello IIS!
Here is the mysterious stellar eruption that is Homunculus around the Eta Carinae star system. Using my CPC800 (dual fork alt-az C8) at f/10 and ASI290MM, with ASI224MC for colour. I measured an apparent size of ~10x20".
Previously I didn't know this was possible to resolve with amateur gear. A couple months ago after imaging the setting Venus I pointed to Eta Carinae out of curiosity and noticed I was making out the two lobes. Over the last several weeks I tried different techniques and camera settings to try get as much detail as I physically could. I processed this like I would with the planets as that's what I'm most familiar with. Short enough exposures to freeze seeing, but just long enough to not clip the lobes.
A measly 6 minutes of total exposure. Made up from the best 75% of 100ms exposures with a UV/IR cut filter on the 290MM for luminance. I had to make many batch recordings because field rotation was getting nasty. This mega project made me pull the trigger on an EQ6-R
Stacked in AutoStakkert!3 with 3x drizzle. Wavelets in Registax. Lots of stretching and love in Photoshop 2020.
