Eta Carina in HGO

[pkinchington (Peter (Kanga))]

Eta carina with about one hour per filter with 60s subs. The HGO palette is meant to be "realistic". What are your thoughts?

Nice result Kanga.
You ask is it realistic?
Who knows, as long as detail is revealed then it's a winner

Thanks - I guess I'd like to know what visual astronomers see. I believe that with some rigs they can see colour in eta carina.
Cheers Kanga

Looks good. I think its close to realisitic. Take a DSLR shot of it and you'll get accurate colour. In my experience natural colours for Eta C has more blue in it.

I like the image I took of Eta a while ago as i thought I got the colour right finally after many images of this object. This is an LRGB image no Ha which often swamps the image.

Hi Greg,
I find that unmodified dslr's give a rendition with more blue (which I like). When I use a modified dslr that lets in all the Ha I find that the blue is overwhelmed (in my case anyway).
