Eta Carinae Nebula - first go

[troypiggo (Troy)]

Had a go at Eta Carinae on Saturday night. Actually took 7x8min shots, but 4 of them were thrown in the bin due to guiding problems that plagued me all night. So this is about as much as I could get out of 24mins worth of data with an unmodded 30D. Can just start to make out some of the fainter wisps of nebula coming out, just needs more data I suppose.

Any tips or critique appreciated.

Yeah you hit the nail on the head there .... data data data ... the more the better but at least you've made a good start Troy.
