Eagle from SPSP

[Retrograde]

Hi all - another of my images from SPSP - the Eagle Nebula (M16).

Again through the North Group ED102 and modified Pentax K-5 IIS combo.
10 x 5 min guided subs at ISO 400. This is maybe a 75% crop of the original frame.

t's a bit frustrating getting out under dark skies only a few times a year but you have to make the most of it. Comments & advice welcome as always. :hi:

That's a beauty Pete, well done :thumbsup:

[zardos123]

gotta be very happy with that :thumbsup:

Really nice Pete, good to see it in normal colour and not just narrowband (of which I am a big culprit:lol:).

Lovely result Pete, for a quicky you have to be happy with that? :thumbsup: The stars look a bit hard edged so working on that might improve the aesthetics but otherwise, great job :thumbsup:

Thanks Andrew!



Thank-you Marc. :)



Cheers Lee - appreciate the positive comment.



Thanks Brad. If it wasn't for all your help and support over the last few years I'd have never gotten this far. :thumbsup:



Thanks Colin. Narrowband sure has its place and I think often requires a more mature understanding to fully appreciate its intricacies. Both narrowband and wideband have their place I feel.


Thanks Mike - this "quicky" is pretty much my longest capture yet. :lol:

Totally agree with you about the stars. Softening them yet maintaining their colour is a challenge to my processing skills at this stage but I'll see what I can do. :thumbsup:
