If only the Eta Carinae region wasn't so far over in the west by the time it gets dark.... oh well - it'll be cloudy tonight here in Sydney anyway.  |
Sorry for confusion...Last night decided to image Eta instead of M8/20 due to proximity of moon...turned out pretty well for 12x5mins as it was sinking fast!
The Eta bleaching story comes from a session about 2 months ago when I tried to image Eta under a full moon which was very close to the target.
