NGC 3576 and 3603 in Carina.

Hi everyone,
Well it`s been sometime since I have posted any images of anything and it gonna take some time to get back in the swing of processing, I have to sit down and really think of my routine with this since it would have been April since I processed any picture .
This image is one of the last I have done before moving to the highlands and was taken in April this year and only did the processing yesterday. I think it took me a good hour of tinkering till I was happy with the results.

Both of these emission nebs make a nice subject in Carina I reckon!
Image is 2hrs of data with the 8" reflector and Canon 20D.
Image came out very smooth even with lots of red channel stretching. Lots of jpg compression to get under 200kb and around 50% crop of the full frame to get it reasonably ok for viewing.

I`m hoping for a Ha filter very soon to give my pictures that extra kick.
I`ve wanted one for ages but only now have a little $$$ to spare.

Comments are most welcome
cheers Gary
