And Eta Carina! I started a sketch of her earlier this year. So damned big and detailed too. I couldn't manage to complete it as I will need a good couple of nights of knock it over, and this season finished before I could. Next season.
lol thanks Alex. I think it had to do with the fact, that back in those days (2005 lol), I had very limited time with my holy grail, an 8" telescope, and I was going to milk it to no end.

You should be able to see the dark pillars in it too with your 12", Sab. I saw them from home, albeit with my 17.5", but Hickny managed them too with his 13.1" from Sydney. And there's the Homunculous Nebula, and the various clusters, and the various shock waves, and maybe a few Boks too...
Once I trained my 12" on Eta Carina at 200x or so with a UHC filter.

I needed a change of underwear
