Hello,
Here is a 10 x 180 sec image of Eta Carina, Lum only, as the clouds rolled in (once more!) before I could collect any RGB data. Ironically, when I was imaging M42 the other night, that session was plagued by clouds rolling in from the NE whereas the southern skies were tantalisingly mostly clear.
Last night, I decided to hit up Eta Carina and once I had set up, switched on, aligned, calibrated, etc. it was the reverse – Eta Carina was awash with clouds and Orion was grinning at me from some decent sucker holes. Luckily the capacity to endure such reversals of fortune is in my DNA, being an Englishman!
Tak Mewlon 180 F12 at prime focus (2160mm) with SBIG ST2000XM. Auto darks applied, no flats.
Cheers
Dennis
