We had a good run of clear in Sydney all this week so I made the most of it. I did a couple of comparative panels on the trap in Orion and the keyhole area in Carina.
Orion is getting low very fast so the quality and guiding isn't consistent but I was able to guide much better on Eta. Start of the week had pretty bad seeing but last night was much better. Although the moon is up and brigth now. Can't have it all would be too easy...

Not particularly happy with that one but given the conditions that's all I could get.
Enjoy the views and thanks for looking.
PS: added some color for the keyhole. IR goes red, visible goes blue.

also some color for the trap. Not as good. Low on the horizon and hard to guide.

Sorry about the size. Colour adds to it.
