NGC3372 Eta Carina in Ha

[ozstronomer (Geoff)]

Managed to capture this with the great weather Brissy is having ATM


This is 48 x 1min + 11 x 5min subs combined in CS3, Darks + flats applied using W.O 72mm Megrez with Moravian G2-8300 - no flattener in Ha

Thanks for looking

Nice work Geoff. How do you find the Megrez to play with?

I've recently bought a ZenithStar 80 that has been much nice for imaging than I expected, but not in same league as the Megrez range I believe.

Lots of detail there, Geoff!

I got out last night with my RC10 and had a practice run with all the bells and whistles turned on. I exorcised a few demons so everything should be perfect tonight

Cheers,
Rick.

Thanks Rob, The megrez is a really nice scope very little false colour. I find it does need a flattener whether used with my Canon 20D or the Moravian CCD. I have the W.O. type 3 flattener but I haven't got the correct flattener>camera distance as yet, still playing

Cheers Rick, I think a few of us will be on an all-nighter with this weather.
I hope the shakedown goes well, that should make next weekend a breeze

Interesting rendition as far as light goes but great details. Nice work.
