Promise the Last Eta From Me

Hi Guys, well during the week even with the Moon full, and still very high and bright, I have been experimenting, or practicing if you like with the now modded 5D. I promise this is the last Eta from me....

I seems that I have the processing in hand and, it is now time to get serious.

I know you are probably sick of Eta Carinae, but I had to practice on an object like this to get the feel of the Camera, and how it would respond to a very light polluted sky.

So here is Eta, 20 exposures at only 4 minutes each, at 400 ISO, with the Modded 5D, and the Tak 106, on the G11, auto guided, and all processing in Image Plus, with a touch up in PS2.

The Moon was a killer, but the camera performed pretty well under these conditions, please be my judge.

The first is a full wide field, un-cropped, and number 2, is a half crop of the full image,

Leon

I think I'm ready Well I hope I am.
