I attempted to image the homunculas @ eta carinae last night with my LPI and my 10" LX200R, with mixed results. I did manage to capture it but with alot of noise which I had to process out later. Looking at the photo though, it is quite apparent that it is a wonderful target for all the planetary imagers that we have on these forums. With the equipment and techniques that people on these forums are employing, I'm sure someone can come up with a great shot of this target!
Here is my attempt below. As a comparison,
this is a pic by the 3.9 metre Anglo Australian telescope.
So, anyone up to the challenge for a bit of fun over the next few weeks?!
