Eta Before The Clouds

Hi Guys,

Last night it looked like it was going to be brilliant, but alas the clouds rolled in at about 11pm.

While waiting for another object to be well placed for imaging, i decided to take a few of Eta Carinae, so i suppose i was pretty lucky to get anything as the last frame of this set of 9 was ruined because of the approaching clouds.

Anyway, here we have a set of 8 @ 3mins each at ISO 400, through the Tak-106 and Canon 5D on a G11, and auto guided with a Toucam, and W.O. 80mm FD.
Processed in Image Plus and slight levels adjustment in PS2, this is a un-cropped wide field, and the colour has not been altered, it just came out that red, so i left it that way.

Please comment if you so desire.

Cheers Leon
