Quick Eta Carina in SHO (starry and starless, take your pick) (same same but starless)

Revision title: starless

This is my first Eta Carina for this season, and also the first image I've taken with my new iOptron CEM120 mount an the tripier 360 (very pleased with it so far and looking forward to it's future potential and maybe a larger scope one day).

It's been cloudy. People say this all the time, but here in Brisbane Australia I can vouch it's the cloudiest it's been since 1974... as a result this is just 5h 10m of subs over a couple of partly cloudy nights. from several weeks of solid cloud. I'm planning to revert to a straight flatenner on my APM130 for a bit to see how I guide at lonnger FL so decided now to process and post what I have with the 0.75x reducer... hoping though to do a 9 panel mosaic at FL 780mm of Eta Carina as the season progresses and weather permitting.

This is stacked in APP into S, H and O and recombined and processed in Startools 1.8. Final tweaks in PS CC including the starless version here which is thanks to StarXterminator plugin. I'll keep both versions here... not generally into starless but I kinda like both the same here.

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.
