Eta Carinae first go

leon · #1 27-11-2006, 09:22 PM

Hi all

Last night i had an attemp to image Eta Carinae, only go in two frames at 3.00 minutes each as clouds were rolling in pretty fast.

I know it's not to flash, but i hope to improve as time goes on.

2 images @ 3.00 min's, processed in image plus, and some touch up in PS2, taken through the ED80, tracked on EQ5, no guiding.

Cheers leon

Wow, very nice Leon.
It has a nice contrast which gives it nice detail.

Getting better with each image mate.

Very nice Leon, very clear and detailed.
The clouds really know how to spoil a good time dont they.

Good one Leon.
Maybe there should be a first year images club

So many post great image here on IIS it is unreal

To many great photo's to reply to them all but well done all who give it a go and share them.

Some people could hardly use a scope a while ago now bingo super images.
I think I maybe a bit slower. I tended to pull the camera out of the focuser and put a eyepeice in
