I thought I'd share the Eta Carina image I captured last night.
ED127mm
CDS1100D @ ISO 800
3 minute subs for 1hr and 24min of data.
Stacked in DSS and processed in CS3.
I learned a lot about processing stars with this image. Something I'll bring to my next images.
No matter how many times we image an object, there is always something else we can learn.
PS. I had to use such short subs as I was set up at the side of the house, on the lawn. The ground is still rather damp and while I did compact the mount down when I set up, there was naturally still movement occuring as the scope moved.
So the PHD graph was almost flat lining, but I was getting trailing after 3 minutes.

OK, So I've given in to popular opinion and have upped the saturation levels.
