High Resolution Keyhole Nebula - with final close up version :-)

While waiting to get out again after the full moon I decided to rework my Eta Carina data from 2008.

In the full frame version I went for more highlights, richer colour with more variation and a little more fine detail.

I was happy with the new high resolution version, I had cropped this same FOV from the original Ha some time ago (Peter Ward may recognise the FOV and orientation - hey I liked it, so kept it ) and it showed good resolution but I never added the colour.

Taken with the 6" Starfire at the native 1300mm focal length and all are variations of LHaRGB = 10 20 10 10 10min - more details can be found under each image

Just Eta and her Keyhole

Homunculus Nebula around Eta itself (take note of the jets eminating from Eta Carina, amazing)

Eta Carina Nebula Full Frame: Small 40% full size and Large 60% full size

Just filling in time and having fun
