A last go at M16

I got some LRGB data to add to my SHO Eagle. Astrobin link here: https://www.astrobin.com/full/421838/0/

Was an interesting process adding the star data in pixinsight. Learnt a bit about star size reduction, used different star masks for different sized stars. A bit limited by the data but also kind of surprised by what stacking a lot of 10s frames can yield. LRGB image very noisy of course (an hour all up of LRGB in very light polluted and moon filled skies) but sadly M16 is heading behind an ever leafier Mango tree! Until next year I guess...
