Eta Carina Nebula

This combines two NB sessions for the AUS-2 telescope. This is my first processing attempt using TL data collection. I had to crop the right side as I don't have the master dark to remove the bad pixel line on the right side, but I actually like this composition.

Hi Caleb, You don't need the Master, just use Cosmetic Correction Process from PxI, go to Use Defect List, and add, if is AUS-2, columns 3562 and 3563 from rows 1722 to 4095 and apply, this has to be done before star alignment. Of course in Add files add all of them, it doesn't matter if some are rotated, the program will know and take care of that.

Hi Claudio, that's awesome. I've always used Cosmetic Correction with a master dark, but wasn't really how to leverage the other options. This is most helpful. Thanks! I'll keep that in mind as I have a few other captures from the AUS-2 scope.
