Eta Carinae Nebula
Eta Carinae Nebula: This image was another test for the Hutech modified EOS 30D. And it passed it very well. If you compare this 5 minute exposure with the one of 48 minutes exposure(see Nebulae) the increased sensitivity is striking. Not to forget the unearthly beauty of this large emission nebula. I always feel a pitty for all the astronomers on the Northern Hemisphere not being able to observe this for me most beautiful of all nebulae.
