Hi Everyone,
I finally got the time to process the original Eta Carinae with 5 frames stacked.
It has 21 iterations.
I did a lot of work fixing up stars using Louie's techniques
+/1 pixel back & forward. I Also used Fitswork4 to make stars smaller.
I used "digging out the details" by Ken Crawford to further stretch
various areas on the frame by using vector masks from a darker layer.
The keyhole nebula managed to even have a slight yellow section
& definetely a red part which streams off.
I turned up the blue slightly to emphasize the fact that the
unmodded camera with no filter at a dark site is picking up
a lot of the blue spectrum - whereas most pictures
of Eta - published are nearly all red.

This picture is just over 1 MByte & is 2143 x 1428 pixels.
Press F11 to get a full screen & ctrl + or - to change the size.
Press F11 again to return to a normal screen.
