Hi All,

Last night I decided to take advantage of the clear moonless sky in Sydney and take some new images. I managed to get pictures of the Eta Carinae Nebula and Markarian's Chain.

I always find the shear scale of these objects amazing. We really do live in an interesting universe...

So far I have only processed the image of Eta Carinae which is attached. Details below..

Location: Sydney
Telescope: Meade LX90

Stacked using DSS

Cheers,
