Eta Carinae (Megrez 80)

Yet another image of Eta Carinae. I was trying here to improve upon my previous images taken with film of roughly the same field of view. I did do that, ending up with good nebulosity detail, but unfortunately the shot really hilights the colour problems that the Megez lens suffers. My Megrez being one of the original (version 1) optical tubes.
Camera:Canon 350D (un-modified)
Lens/Telescope:William Optics Megrez 80
Aperture:F/6.3
Date:21st January 2007
