Eta Carina Nebula

I have recently received a Skywatcher 150ED scope and one of the recommended accessories I saw for improving the focus system was the Baader clicklock adapter. at the same time, I purchased the Badder camera adapter with the thread for the tmount. When I looked at the camera adapter I noticed the thread size was the same as an eyepiece filter. I decided to try one of my visual filters the Lumicon UHC with the camera. The result was beyond my imagination. Eta Carina is setting fast and I wanted to try and get a good shot before it goes for the season. I set up and aligned during twilight so I could start shooting as soon as astronomical twilight finished. I had about an hour before Eta went behind the trees from my backyard observing site. The camera used is the Nikon Z6II unmodified with 30-second exposures at ISO3200. The 120 shots were processed from RAW and stacked in Sequator before a final process in Photoshop. The 150ED was mounted on the Sirius EQ-G and no autoguiding was used.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
