Eta Carina widefield

Here is a quick 2 hour 50 minute Eta Carina I took whilst waiting for Rho
to rise about 2 weeks ago.

I was careful with focus with these as I took Eta C a few weeks earlier and discarded it due to focus errors.

Also whilst processing another image I was surprised at the difference in star sizes between 1x1 and 2x2 with the same filter. 3X or larger sizes in stars. Interesting and good to know. It may pay to image at 1x1 on all filters with this reducer to keep star sizes smaller as well as careful focusing.

HaLRGB 50 30 30 30 30.

FSQ106ED and reducer, FLI PL16803, Baader filters.
