ETA Carina Nebula

Image taken 21 May 2009, at Clayton Bay, South Australia

Equipment - GSO 8" RC, Takahashi flattener with Astro 40D camera by Central DS

Guiding - ED80 with Orion Star Shoot autoguider on Takahashi EM400 mount.

6 x 10 minute subs

Darks, flats and biases applied

Processed in Images Plus and Photoshop CS3

Notes - Aside from the Star bloom, I am really happy with this image. The detail seems very sharp and field looks quite flat.
