200mm eta

[blink138 (Pat)]

took the skywatcher star adventurer out to mundaring and for the first time had a bit of a problem aligning it quickly
however we managed to capture eta as i had captured it from by very polluted back garden and got a good result
i rejected about 4 or 5 subs due to wobbles or other things

about 27 subs
60da
canon 70-200mm f2.8 @ 200mm f4

Lovely, Pat. I'm finding that with so many stars in the image with these
longish exposure widefields that the main target starts to get overwhelmed. Of course with shorter subs you get less target detail, so
I suppose it's always a compromise.

Nice one Pat

Yeah I've found Eta Carinae to be a really tricky one...taken a whole bunch of shots but never processed it to my satisfaction, too many stars
