M16 Eagle Nebula
Back in Sydney’s lovely Bortle 8 Skyglow imaged M16 under a full moon plus neighbours flood lights ( why do I bother , answer, I like a challenge)
Subs were only 60 sec but still whitewashed out at ISO800
Captured just over 2 hours of data plus darks
6” f6 Bintel GSO newt on an EQ6-R Mount
Canon 600D with Baader coma corrector
PHD2 guiding at 1.20 to 1.40 arc sec error
Goto and tracking EQMOD, StellariumScope and Stellarium
Frame, focus and capture BYEOS
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools V1.5 Linear data set ( obviously a huge amount of noise in the image which affected everything , nebulosity, stars , colour etc... ) but Startools managed to salvage some sort of image out of the garbage in
Comments welcome
