Eta Carinae

This is the first stacked image captured from my 350D. Not a bad result.

Taken in a very light polluted place it's not possible to gain any more contrast from this image unfortunately.

Taken at a high ASA (1600) there's quite a lot of noise in this image.

Still, there is reasonable detail in the nebulosity and I am surprised how sensitive the 350D is to the red of the nebula.
Camera:Canon 350D (unmodified)
