Description

First light with my first telescope!

Eta Carinae Nebual (aka the Grand Nebula) is a region of bright and dark nebula located in the Carina constellation, located in the Carina-Sagittarius Arm. It is approximately 8500 light years from Earth.

This is about the fifth time I've imaged Carina, 3rd time with my HEQ5 Pro and 1st with my first telescope (a Sharpstar 61EDPH refractor). Total integration time is 168minutes and a feel I could benefit from a lot more data to really bring out the nebula, however I am blown away by the increase in detail.
