PN K2-15, ngc2579, Tarantula, Eta carina nebs

Hi, hand a huge imaging fest last night as it was clear and very transparent, and I had Houghys cooled 350D DSLR here, so I did almost an all nighter
Planetary Neb K2-15 in Vela. 2x10 mins ISO400
NGC2579 in Puppis 2x10 mins ISO400, and a full res. crop
Tarantula nebula. 5x10 mins ISO400
Eta Carina nabula 3x10 mins ISO400

All shots using Houghys Astronomik CLS filter as well. Baader MPCC coma corrector also. Sensor temp around 7 degrees C. Ambient temp over 20 for much of the night. 10 inch f5.6 Newtonian, hand off axis guided.

All in all one of the best nights in many months by far in Newcastle.
