I must admit that eta carinae, despite its brightness and size, isn't one of my favourite deepsky photographic objects. Just a bit too bland and monotonal compared with M42 eg, it can come across like an enormous flat pink clover leaf. Having said that, this photo is a revelation, Marcus. Fantastic amount of tonal and textural variety. The lighter purple swathes against the pink background give a real 3D look. Interesting detail everywhere and I love the contrasting star colours. A major achievement.
