Eta Carina & Southern Cross.

[tilbrook@rbe.ne (Justin Tilbrook)]

Hi,

While waiting for comet lovejoy to rise, I imaged Eta Carina and the cross.

Camera Canon 1100D
Lens 18 to 55 zoom at 42mm f/5.
High ISO compensation set to low.

A total of 24 minutes data, 6 frames at ISO 1600 and six at 800, only dark frames applied, processed in deep sky stacker and photoshop, cropped to region of interest.

Suggestions for improvement appreciated.

Cheers,

Justin.

Hi,

Here's another one, less crop and more clolour saturation to bring out the star colour especially in the southern cross.
