Eta at 130mm.

Hi,

Here's one I've been working on for a while, it's always difficult to work out the best look for Eta when processing. There's so many stars in the field it takes some time to find the balance between stars and nebula.

Telescope 8” f/4 astrograph on a HEQ Pro 5 mount, orion mini guider.
Unmodded Canon 1100D piggy backed at 130 mm F/L F/5.6
12 x180 sec subs ISO 800,
11 dark frames, 9 flat frames and 11 bias.
Stacked in DSS and post process in Phototshop.
Cheers,

Justin.
