Eta Car SW ED80 Comments please

Hi all,

A great subject and nice and high at the moment so a perfect subject to prove the value of a recent purchase, that being my new SW ED80 and followed very shortly after by an Orion Field Flattener and I think both have just been fully justified by this image.
This is six 3 minute light frames only
ISO 800 from my Pentax K5 SLR
Stacked in DSS and finished in CS5.
I've added a crop of the main part of the image for detail.
NEQ6 Pro mount using PHD guiding, Phillips Tucam with 135mm SLR lens as guide scope.

I'm very happy with the result I hope you like it also, all comments welcome.

Thanks for looking.
