[Eternal]

Well my third attempt at astrophotography and my results are acceptable, but nothing to write home about. I really need a coma corrector and some dark skies. The light polluted skies in Bankstown plus the moon are not an ideal combination for astrophotography. Also need to improve my focussing.

All shots taken with Skywatcher 8" Newtonian on HEQ5 mount with Canon 400D with Baader 2" UHC-S filter.

Eta Carina - 21 x 40s ISO 800; 5 darks & offsets; unguided (couldn't find a guide star - actually couldn't be bothered).

Jewel Box - 15 x 30s ISO 800; 5 darks & offsets; unguided (couldn't find a guide star - actually couldn't be bothered).
