The Eta program...

Sticking with the "Eta program" and inspired by today's APOD topic...I decided to combine some old data with some new stuff.

Probably not i-pad friendly.

The link is here

Well, that's pretty bloody awesome. Send that to Roland from AP. I'm pretty sure he will parade it around somewhere! Honestly never see a better picture of the Carina nebula short of a Hubble image.

You nailed that one. The best yet from your Honders setup. Look at those tight stars - beautiful.

A super high impact image and we are seeing the power of this setup here plus some excellent processing.

Greg.

I think the Honders is really starting to show its true form with this image, as a gold standard (and so typical from AP) astrographic system.

Thanks Greg. Much appreciated.

It's ipad friendly; very impressive detail in a very wide field. Ngc3324 is very nicely defined, contrasts look attractive, and the dusty sections throughout are very interesting, especially those in front of bright nebula.

Excellent.

Never tired of Eta, especially when it's that well done. Inspiring.
