fickle finger in Carina

[spearo (Frank)]

Hello folks,
Well here's all I could get over the weekend...
I was actually intending to try this target at F11 but started out with the focal reducer (the F6.3 might make it a F/7 on my system?) and as soon as I removed the focal reducer and started on my focussing routine....sure enough....clouds came in big time...

Anyhow, not as nice as some of the other work posted here but I'm looking forward t o trying it at F11 to see what I can get out of it.

I include the original frame post stack, untouched to show the amount of crop.

That is very nice Frank! Actually not too far behind what Peter has posted!
Never get sick of good old Eta Carina!

Thanks Gary,
It's unfortunately not even in the same league as Peter's !

I'm still keen to see if I can image it at F11 someday, if the clouds ever clear up that is....

Thanks for the feedback
cheers

Great effort Frank. Pushing the C14 at F11 is worth a try none the less. Pick your night carefully.

Thanks Jase,
will try again in a few weeks

Cool shot. I have no idea how hard this is to do but I'll have a go next week. Just got access to a C11 and that's on my list of things to try.

Thanks Mark,
I really want to try to have a go at it at F11 to see what my equipment can deliver.

hope you go F10 on the C11
look forward to it
cheers
