dust near M42, and Eta carina neb

Hi all
After lots of bad weather finally got to do something. A comet like glob of dust near M42 and surrounding dust.
8x10 mins ISO200. Unfiltered for IR as well as visible light access. MPCC , Modded 350D, 6 inch f3.6 SN. Artifacts near top are reflections from the uncoated corrector plate.

Finished with a quck shot of Eta Carina neb. 3x 10 mins ISO400. This time used IDAS uv/ir and Baader UHC-S filters. same scope.

Was a fair bit of cloud in the sky all the time during the imaging run but amazingly it kept away from the imaging areas.
