M11

Hi Folks,

Went searching in vain for M16 last night, but that elusive Eagle was hiding from me but I managed to trip over M11, the Wild Duck Cluster instead.

It's my third attempt to find M16, and it's such a dark region of space to the naked eye.
Any tips on getting my synscan EQ6 goto v3.27 more accurate would be most welcome, because I really can't tell what star pattern I'm looking for...

Anyway, here is what I have - 11 x 5 min subs, darks etc.

Thanks for looking.

Andy
