Eta Carinae

Here's my second attempt with the new gear from last night (400D through 10" Newt using the new Paracorr). Too bad it was full moon.

I managed to get the guiding working last night after discovering a clash between my Belkin video grabber and the Canon EOS utility that meant I had to change guide cameras to a webcam based system. I'd be interested if anyone else has encountered this problem?

This image is 6x90 secs ISO 800, ICNR, no flats. I'm very pleased with the performance of the paracorr.

Comments/suggestions welcome.
