Had a good session last night concentrating on Eta car. No clouds but forget about the moon coming up behind me. No real detail in the nebula but not to sure as to what to concentrate on. Can you tell me if Eta Car is the relatively brighter yellow star in the nebula to the left of a formation of stars forming a w (as per the image taken by Martin of this nebula).

Moved on to the Tarantula for a while, was seeing some good detail. Seems to get better as I get familiar with the structure of the target.
Thanks Martin for your image of Eta Car, hope you don't mind me referring to it as it clearly shows most of the stars in the nebula.
