Hi all
Heres tonights shots I squeezed in between dusk and the moon.
Planetary Nebula IC 4406 http://www.users.on.net/~josiah/baader/IC4406%20baader.jpg
A 480 and 680 sec ISO 400 shot.
Thackeray's Globules in IC2944, something Ive been after since imaging the
other bit of this nebula and just getting the globules on the edge of the
shot.

2 x 20 mins at ISO 800. a HST shot of the biggest one

While the moon was still down and the sky dark I went for the Eagle Nebula
http://www.users.on.net/~josiah/baader/Eagle%20baadersmall.jpg
an 800 and an 860 sec ISO 1600 shot. I had a well placed guide star and no
wind allowed for good guiding. Its the best shot of it Ive taken.
I finished up with
http://www.users.on.net/~josiah/baader/ngc6563baadersmall.jpg NGC 6563 , 2
x 8 mins ISO 400 (with moon well up now)
All shots with the Baader UHCS filter. Off axis guiding done on all shots.

Awesome Scott, you're improving every time out. The eagle shot is easily your best! Looks nice and deep.
