I tried re-processing the Carina Nebula with the recommendations of Filroden. And btw, your guess was perfect lmao. The night I photographed the carina nebula it was 38 degrees c. The carina consists of 44x30s subs at iso 1600. The 2nd image is my attempt of the orion nebula. It is a stack of 80 x 25 second exposures at iso 1600. I really like the way they both turned out, however, I want to try and do better next time.

Thanks a lot! I never knew that I could capture nebula like this. To answer your question, I did not use a Barlow as it it would have doubled my focus ration from f5 to f10. I used the slt 130 at prime focus, with the primary mirror moved up 5cm.

Hey guys! I have just tried out my new dslr camera on my SLT 130 Telescope. This image of the Carina Nebula consists of 44x30s subs at iso 1600. This was stacked with 15 dark frames. I might add an extra hour of data and some flats tomorrow to see how it will turn out. I tried my best in processing with gimp as this is my first ever dslr exposure of a dso and I plan to take some better images in the future.
