M42 and Eta Carina, from BrisVegas

I used my integrating video camera (Watec 120N+) to take 10 sec shots of M42 and the Eta Carina Nebula just to see if it could peer through the light pollution of Brisbane and how good this camera is as an imager. Took 50x10 sec shots, dark corrected and stacked in Deepskystacker. Levels in PS.
I was surprised as there was less hassle taking the shots apart from clouds etc. Pleased to know I have a camera capable of 1/2000sec to 1min-10 min integrated shots, so I will see what its capable of doing with the planets.
