this is my first attempt at eta carina. have only taken a few astro photos and i gave eta carina a go over 2 nights over the weekend.

total subs = 4 hrs (@5 min subs)
10 dark frames ( do i need more here?)
10 flat frames and dark flats( do i need more?)
do i need to do bias frames?

-450d @800 iso with a light pollution filter
-taken with an ed-80 on an eqmod controlled neq6
-guided with a 8" mak @ 1500mm focal length with phd and eqmod pulse guide adjustments
-stacked in DSS
-processed in photoshop

please give comments and opinions and any tips on how to improve the image.

thanks.
