NGC3372 Eta Carinae Nebula A spectacular and large diffuse nebula. Date: 12 March 2005 Camera: Canon 300D Telescope: Meade LXD55 SC8 Details: 90 x 30 sec exposures ISO1600 Prime focus Processing: Stacked with Lynkeos Post processing with Photoshop Comments: The Eta Carinae nebula is so large that I was only able to capture a section of it in this picture. Once I have a focal reducer, I will try this one again.
	M42 Orion Nebula Probably one of the best known, and largest diffuse nebula. Date: 3 February 2005 Camera: Canon 300D Telescope: Meade LXD55 SC8 Details: 3 x 15 sec exposures ISO1600 Prime focus? Processing: Stacked with Lynkeos Post processing with Photoshop Comments: This was one of the first things I photographed when I purchased the LXD55 telescope. It was before I had developed any sort of photographic proceedure, or read anything about astro photography. This explains the underwhelming nature of this image. I plan to replace it with a better image soon.
