A cool project would be to extend your focal length and do some short exposures of Eta Carina the star and try to get the homonoculous (spelling?) nebula to show. It may require the Ha to tone it down enough to have it show through the brightness.

Then you could layer it in your widefield. Now that would be cool.
Greg.
Cheers Greg! Yes, can't wait to add the colour. To do justice to the Homunculus though I think I'd need more than 1760mm (my F11.7 setup).

You certainly have the basis of an absolutely stunning Eta there. I'll look forward to the final result.

Mike ... maaaaaate - of course I'm gonna do something! And BTW, in case I haven't said this before, all serious imagers should post at 100%! Otherwise the less experienced among us will start to think detail is unnatural.
