My attempt at Eta Carina

I've been enjoying myself trying to capture some data. I turned to Eta Carina now that M42 is getting lower and the Canberra glow is to the West.

I don't have guiding so my 2 min exposures aren't great. The outer areas are made worse due to no flattener, but I cropped the worst of it.

Anyway: 3 x 2 min, no noise reduction, 500D, Equinox ED80.

These were manually stacked in GIMP since I just can't make my DSS output look any good. BTW, that's why I had no noise reduction, I took bundles of darks, but as I say, ...DSS!!! So much to learn.

Cheers,
Bruce
