That's better. I'm going to call this done now.
"Eta Carina in Context", all shot with the Thirty Millimetre Telescope (Seestar S30 Pro) from suburban Sydney (Bortle 7), mostly during full Moon, using the built in light pollution filter. Processing in Siril with SyQon and VeraLux.

The Eagle and its Nest. This is what my telescope has been spending most time on for the last couple of nights, 9 hours in total. It's the Eagle Nebula, M16 and, below (north) of it, is something the Seestar app calls "NGC 6604 - Nest Nebula". As far as I can tell it would be more accurate to refer to the nebula as Sh 2-54, NGC 6604 is the star cluster near the centre of it. Edit: I wasn't entirely happy with the processing so had another stab at it. It's better now. #Astrophotography #Seestar #SeestarS30Pro #TMMT #ThirtyMilliMetreTelescope
