Hi all

This image was taken back on the 8th March, from Mangrove Mountain on the Central Coast of NSW.

It's only my second image of Eta Carina but i'm happier with how this one has turned out. My previous effort from the dark skies at Wee Jasper looks way too saturated and flourescent looking back at it now

The image consists of 12x 300s exposures, darks ICNR, flats calibrated. Taken through an unmodded Canon 350D, ED80 + WO 0.8x II reducer, guided on an EQ6 with DMK/PHD combo.

Next time I'll definitely go longer, but also really needs a modded camera to bring out the fainter stuff.

Please see the image on the page below, and be sure to click on the image to see the larger size.

NGC3372 - Eta Carinae

Thanks for looking.

Very beautifull indeed, another great shot and processing with a unmoded cam, Welldone.

That's a nice subject for your DSLR on the 80ED+reducer, big and colorful.
