First image for 5 years! Eta Carina luminance

I'm back in the obs.... this image was from a couple of weeks ago, I dusted out and did some maintenance on my badly neglected observatory, happy to find all the electronics fire up as expected (except the PC)...
This night was just to make sure everything worked, mount/balance, CCD (old Meade DSI II Pro), cables etc
Quite happy with the image as it turned out, stars a little oblong and oversaturated though.... I tried again last night, more adventurous after getting guiding going, so I did some O-III subs, but didn't focus very well....

This image turned out ok, luminance only, 17x2min subs, captured/processed with Nebulosity.
Scope - ED80; CCD - Meade DSI II Pro; Mount - G11, unguided.
