NGC3372 Eta Carina

I am sure I can get a little more out of this one. I think I have gone rusty in my processing over the last few months of not imaging....

19 minutes with darks and flats.
Nexstar 11 GPS
Unmodded Canon 400D
Manual guide using Toucam on piggybacked ED80 on screen.
Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and processed in paintshop pro 9.

I thought it was just me. If I don't image for a few months it is definitely more of a thought process to get back into the swing of things. I really should document all my setup procedures.

The image is good. Have you considered modifying your 400d?

I have considered modifying my Canon 20d to get the colors a little more vibrant but it costs a few bucks unless you feel brave enough to try it on your own, which I am not recommending. There are some sites on the net that fully document the procedure.
