Still trying to get that ultimate image of Eta Carina. This is the next loveliest neb in the sky after M42.

Here are 2 last night under nearly full moon, suburban skies.

FS152, MI250 mount, unguided, mostly 30 sec exposures, some 45 sec in the 2nd shot and a couple of 60 secs. Modified D70, ISO 1600, Mode 3 (turn off after the shot whilst camera doing noise reduction, this stops a built in filtering process in the Nikon Camera from damaging the fainter stars). Images Plus and Nikon Capture editor.

This one 12 x 30 secs. The one to follow is more like 25 x 45 and 4 x 60.
