A windy Eta Carina

Loftus, NSW

The big Eta Carina nebula was pretty low when I took this stack of images, experimenting to see what kind of image I could get with short subs. The subs were short because it was really windy, I had to discard 44 of the 79 subs due to trailing. Am quite happy with the result! The bright star left of centre is one of the most massive stars in the galaxy, and a decent candidate to go supernova.

35 x 30s exposures at ISO1600, 150mm Newtonian on HEQ5pro, unguided. Processed in DSS and Photoshop. full exif
