Prawn and Eagle

[that_guy]

Got some decent shots after the moon set around midnight. Prawn was a bit of a challenge since its fainter than most other objects ive imaged so far. The eagle was easier but I had to crop a large chunk of the frame because of some dust on the sensor (mustve gotten on the sensor when I was taking out the Ha clip on filter earlier). They're all ISO800 at 5 min. Managed to get 21 frames for the Eagle nebula but only 10 frames for the Prawn. Processed only in StarTools as I'm too scared to even open up photoshop :P

Reprocessed both after a nights sleep aha, what difference rested eyes make ;)

EDIT: again, compression killed the images :( Astrobin links it is!

Nice. What was the problem, if you don't mind me asking (and hijacking your post)?

No problem, it was just the wrong mirror was installed. I assume something faster than f.4 seei g as how i didnt have enough in focus.
