Hi Frank,
That is indeed Eta Carina and the Key Hole Nebula. It was quite bright last night with the Moon, I had a group of students from The Methodist Ladies College from Burwood at my observatory in Broken Hill last night and this is one of the object we observed.
Considering where you took this image from and the brightness of the Moon, I think this is a top effort. Your polar alignment looks ok and you have captured a reasonable amount of the structure of the emission neb. This is a top effort from inner Sydney.
Regards
Trevor
