Martin,

You've come a long way in a short amount of time.

Great images. I'd recommend you using flat frames, as the vignetting is quite evident in the Eta Carinae shot.

Well done.

Regards,
Humayun

That is a full on image of Eta C, you got a lot of detail there.

You can also do a flatten background with either CCDstack or Gradient Xterminator.

Greg.

Both very nice shots well done
i think all I would suggest is a bit of curves, very slightly, in photoshop, or a hint of contrast
very nice shots
well done

great shots Mill - a full screen full on view of Eta.

IMHO maybe just a tad more contrast - the blacks a bit blacker.

none-the-less very inspirational as I await the cash to dive in to auto guiding!
