Eta Carinae and Omega Centauri - single 60s exposures

These two images were taken on the Saturday night at the Mudgee Star Party.

They are single, uncropped 60s exposures taken in large jpeg while framing the object before starting an imaging run. Unfortunately when I started the imaging run and started taking 10 minute exposures, the guiding went funky and the exposures were terrible so I ended up giving up and getting some sleep in preparation for the drive home.

Modded 40D, ED80, WO 0.8x reducer, ISO1600. No flats, no darks, single 60s jpeg exposure.

It's a shame they didn't work out - I was looking forward to getting more data on these.
