Ngc 3324

Took a total of 56 mins 27 seconds of NGC 3324 and surrounds last night. Stacked in DSS, processed in PS 5.1

Vixen FL102S refractor at f/9.2
Canon 5D MkII - non-modded, not cooled
ISO 500
11 x 5 min subs, with one sub needing to be cut short due cloud
Skywatcher NEQ6 mount with Orion Starshoot autoguider, refreshing at 0.2s

Want at least another 2 hours on this target, and then use it to build an entire Eta Carinae complex mosaic. Just look at how much Ha is TRYING to come through! Must finally take some Ha images to add to this one.

A seemingly seldom imaged region of Carina,and it's literally part of the famous NGC 3372.
