eta carina first light

Hi everyone been a long while since i have posted anything due to weather, job ect ect so i submit this with a little trepidation. it is Eta Carina Neb and the details are as followed


Scope: Bintel 8" F5 imaging (its first light)
Camera: QHY8L
Seeing: resonable to good
exposure: 1.5hour of 5 mins
Processed: DSS and PixInSight

Notes: spacing on the coma corrector is/was a bit out and the mount has a terrible 18+ PEC peak to peak (well last time i checked it)

That's a really superb image. The full res shot may be a little soft but you can't tell from the image attached.

Nice work!
