Lovely night here in Canberra last night soooo, after receiving yet
another carrot on a stick in the form of the interferogram and
optical data of my impending N12 mirror, I got out that lill'ol
200mm Pentax lens and shot some Ha of the Orion Nebula region and
theeeen...had a quickie with Eta Carina (hubba hubba) :-)

Eta was still quite low so the seeing wasn't the best :-(
