Eta Carina very wide field

A very wide field, taking in Eta Carina and The Southern Pleiades among other features.

24 x 180sec frames dithered by 10 - 15 pixels. Calibrated and processed in Pixinsight. Post processing in StarTools.

Unguided Canon 5DMII Astrodon mod and cooled - Lens EF 200mm f2.8L USM II, stopped down to f6.3 at ISO 400 - outer suburban skies. Unfortunately, Geelong's midnight cloud rolled in and spoiled the night.

Cropping the centre portion is a thought, but uncropped here. Size reduction on tablet ruined the resolution giving no idea of the scale.
