Crux/Carina widefield attempt

Hi all,

I was camping down near Mt Barney (Qld/NSW border) last weekend, and had clear dark-ish skies, at least relative to Brisbane. I had a Pentax 50mm f/1.4 lens on loan from a friend, so decided to try a widefield with the Coal Sack and Eta Carinae. This was 11 x 20 sec exposures using a tripod-mounted K100D (i.e. no tracking), stacked in DSS. The result is very ordinary compared to most of the images posted here, but I don't have many opportunities to post in the Deep Space forum so here it is...

Cheers,
Stephen
