Around the Eta Carinae Nebula

Around the Eta Carinae Nebula

Description

While I was drawing with the 16" Dobsonian I thought I'd give some work for my camera as well. Unfortunately the polar alignment was not perfect - I think I kicked the tripod after I mounted the camera. Thanks to Iván for the Star Adventurer mount.
