New moon is less impressive from the suburbs..

Well, due to family commitments, I couldn't get to dark skies this weekend, however last night I was able to get out with the scopes and do some imaging.... Here's a couple of the later efforts from the wee hours of this morning..

M42 ~ 10x10min, 18x5min, 60x1min - 7nm Ha..
It needs more work, and much more exposure to get all the dim dusty surroundings, but its a start..

Eta Carine (First for the season??) 4x25min - 7nm Ha.
Again, this one could do with more exposure, but I'm liking this a lot. Easily my best eta. I'll get some OSC data for this next weekend from dark skies..


Last night I also got 1.5hrs on the tarantula and 1hr on NGC104.. Both of these are still in the oven.. I'll serve them up as soon as they are ready.
