Despite the accidental self-sabotage, 70 of so 30 second photos of the Eta Carinae nebula (NGC 3372) still contain enough data to bring out faint details. I don’t think I’ve photographed the background dust in this area before (other than the coal sack and doodad). I can only imagine what 300 exposures would’ve shown. Oh well, next time.
