After all this days of getting the ZEQ25 and AT65EDQ, finally got some time to get decent images. We still had tracking issues which made the stars look like seagulls, i though it was pinched optics but a longer exposure reveals the PEC (Periodic Error) and PA (Polar Align) error.
So, the longest i could go was 45sec, without having too much startrais.
The following images is of the extreme stellar region "Eta Carina", home to one of the youngest known star clusters (Trumpler 14), Trumpler 16 which is home to of WR 25, currently the most luminous star known in our Milky Way galaxy together with the less luminous but more massive and famous Eta Carinae star system, and HD 93129A (another luminous star).
This image was shot at Greg Steven's place. This is a stack of 45sec x 13 images (Usable images from the night) making a total of 585 sec.
The image was stacked in Nebulosity and processing was done in Photoshop CC.
Was really impressed with the data that was captured considering the issues we had.
Here is a link to my blog that shows the initial stacked image and the processed image comparison along with some other good reads.
