Description

Eta Carina is a favourite of mine and this is first SHO image I have taken with my Esprit 100mm which gives a rather lovely widefield.  I did plan to have the camera mounted with the long axis in dec, but a late telescope change meant that I was simply glad to get observing anything, only 15mins into astronomical night.  

Since it was my 199th image, I decided to try a different method of post-processing, courtesy of the excellent YouTube video by Lefty's astrophotography.  

I do like the final results, even if it a little different to what I normally do.  The biggest difference was to use the H-band data also as a luminance layer.   Simple really, but all the best ideas are.  Hope you enjoy it.
