M16 - Eagle Nebula

[Grantj]

Here is my attempt at M16. 100ED and Canon 40D at ISO400, 6x480sec with ICNR, stacked with DSS and processed in Photoshop CS3.

big tick there ...again:)

youre a bit of a flyingstarter there, as you have got the auto guiding , tracking etc worked out, i take it you did a bit of research prior to imaging. or had some help somewhere.

Making good progress. There would appear to be more data there that you maybe able to stretch out without introducing too much noise. Are you doing a non-linear stretch or simply sliding the mid-tone using levels? The nebulosity has taken on a mono-tone flat appearance in the wide field version. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I suspect you've lost some detail in the process. Keep at it. Look forward to seeing more.

Nice image Grant - not over-processed either.
Well done

Another very nice image.. Did you use any noise reduction software? It looks a tad too over-smoothed.

Some good data there - I think the processing is holding them back from being fantastic.

Another great image Grant. You'll wearb the camera out at this rate.

Keep em coming. More Data, More Data, More Data.

Another great image Grant. You sure have everything going for you. Your handling of the red channel is very impressive as your using an unmodded camera.
