Description

on the promise  of the first clear spell for many month annual leave was taken to escape to  our favourite dark site over 2 nights with the Triband L-Enhance filter . I tried 1s,4s,15s,30s & 60 sec subs with hopes of capturing the "peanut" shaped  Humonculus . This was not to be as the 1 sec subs looked like garbage and were quickly binned.The brightest knot of nebulosity in the deep southern Milky way the Eta Carina star continues to brighten. When i first spied this amazing Nebula in 2002 through my 10" F5 ATM Dobsonian  the Eta Carina star was not a naked eye object!
