Eta Carinae crop - less is better ?

In a photo, I suppose it's natural to try and "fit it all in", but I'm happy with this smaller section in the SW of the nebula.

Of course, it's so huge, there must be lots of regions to frame in more detail.

I noticed that M42 has a lot of named regions - Hershel recorded some wonderful names for about 10 areas:
M42 Regions

In fact, Hershel seems to have been prolific in nebula region naming at the time. He also gave the "Keyhole" name to the dark centre of Eta Carinae, but as far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be an overall naming for the rest of the regions within it - anyone know otherwise ?

Sorry - capture details: RC8 at f/8 with Atik314L+

Pretty bright region, so 6x5 mins each on Ha and OIII, and 9x5mins on SII was plenty, so less than 2 hrs total.

Hubble Palette with normal Photoshop fiddling - might try binning Sulphur up to 2x2 next time at this high resolution (0.83''/px), and maybe longer subs, to bring down noise since the red gets stretched so much.
