wow, nice pic. I realized that SII always have to take more then others filters right? I wanted to add SII for Eta Carinae but it was too lees for processing so I didn't add. are you also having same problem? Thanks.

Hi Kimo
I liked your Eta Carina. Especially the fact that you could use your mobile outfit to its maximum advantage.
Unfortunately I do not have a view of south.
I did not find any difference between O3 and S2. For this image I took 2 hrs each of O3 and S2. Even then the image did not come out till last step of stretching. May be the problem is Haze or the lack of O3 and S2 data in the object.
I think it is haze.
