New to astrophotography - Eta Carinae Nebula & Wishing Well Cluster

Howdy. I've been a visual observer for years and more recently started doing some EAA observing too. I enjoyed EAA a little too much (as I suspected I would) and have taken the next logical step and bought some additional toys ... yay to having a basic astrophotography setup It's quite a revelation to be sitting inside in the warmth (especially in Canberra) while controlling/working the astro gear outside.

Here are two of my first images after getting everything working well - the Eta Carinae nebula; and, the NGC3532 'Wishing Well Cluster'.

Both images used 5 x 300s subs, and were processed in APP and Photoshop.

Next steps are to produce various calibration subs ... don't yet have any. Also need to get a flattener for the 120ED.
