To be honest I was hoping to see something different from you. You've already got no less that 12 different renditions of M16 not including this one. Are there any more photons to capture, even if a benchmark image? Perhaps a mosaic or an off the beaten path target to give yourself a challenge. You're an accomplished imager, shooting the same'ol, same'ol has to surely wear thin. How about some new stuff that will push the system and yourself?
On ya Jase M16 is my M8 (for Marc Aragnou)

Aaah, thanks for the insight ... I have only just got this system together, it is still a mostly manual system, the moon is up so in general precludes non narrowband, the weather has been uncooperative, I have been updating the control software (testing phase) and I have no automation...aaahh anything else

Oh and I did do the Bug Nebula, an object I have only imaged once before in 30 years of astrophotography and imaging

Be patient fella, I will do something new soon all ready for you to scrutinise and comment on

Mike
