Hi John
Your shots show a lot of potential. Very crisp focus and great tracking. It looks like you have the capture sorted out. However, if I may offer some constructive criticism:
The histogram of your images displays a typical clipped shape, with data bunched up on the left edge of the graph. What this means is that there is some faint detail that you have clipped off the image. Visually, this means a very dark background which is hiding some detail. The histogram ideally should begin at zero on the left hand side and then sharply rise to a peak. The Eta Carina area is very bright, and we should be seeing a lot more in your image. Keep an eye on your histogram as you make adjustments. Are you taking these shots as RAW?
I hope I'm not coming across too harsh. I don't mean to be. Processing is more that half the battle!
Cheers
