First Eta Carinae w/ Hyperstar III / 78 mins

[dylan_odonnell (Dylan)]

After 12 months of learning and being completely intimidated by the level of skill on these boards I've made a nebula image that I'm happy to share.

It had a strong green cast because of some light spill in my backyard which I've tried to compensate for in post but otherwise it's ok.

Very nice Dylan; it would be even nicer if you could quieten down the burnt out left hand half of the brighter part of the nebula.
