Nice contrast between the right-angled dark lane cornering the bright eta Carinae and the milky nebulae on either side. Key-Hole clearly seen just below eta carinae and dust pillars above descending dark lane.

Thanks Rob - much appreciated.

Thanks mate. I also liked the colors better this time.

Thanks Chris. Focus was pretty spot on but the Oiii and Sii stars were slightly bloated. Might be a result of my processing too. The image scale doesn't allow many pixels per star and when reducing the color saturation on the stars I might have dimmed them too much.
