Eta Carinae 22nd March First effort

This is my first offering so I guess at this or any other stage any comment constructuve critical etc would be useful for me.

Made from three ten minute exposures with DSI Pro 2 (no colour frames or darks as I just ran out of time) through my ED80 refractor. Guiding done with PHD(push here dummy) and my other ED80 and a DSI Colour 1.

Imaging capture and post processing done in Nebulosity. Some handy little tools like power stretching, noise reduction and digital post processing among others. Its a little like a poor man's mini photoshop for astrophotography and the image capture side is a breeze to use too.

The experience at Snake Valley really helped me get my mind together and get this equipment working as one. Hopefully I'll get my focal reducer on line too to increase the FOV.

Cheers

Michael
