Eta Carina single frame

It is pretty. Better than the stack again. If you can get the stack to look like the single but without the noise, you'll be on a winner.

that's pretty miserable
So I've upload a single frame for comparison...this a crop from a 60s exposure at ISO1600, so from the camera's perspective it shouldn't be much different. Obviously, we're using different scopes
mine is a little ED refractor (~f/4.9), and slightly out of focus by the looks of it
No noise was harmed in the making of this image.
Needless to say, yours is sharper and has more colours in it

Ignoring your secondary obstruction, it's more like 8x light gathering area. But all the "wisdom" says fast means bright
Maybe it's because my field is too large...this crop was about 1/9 of the full frame, cropped to more or less match for comparison.

Raymo,
That is awesome for a single shot! :eye pop:
Did I miss what gear you used for that ?
If I did I'm getting old forgive me

Hi John, nice to have a newcomer amongst our bunch. They all know what gear I use, so I don't post the equipment details any more, just the exposure details. HEQ5/ 8" Newt/ Canon 1100D unmodded.
