M16 Eagle Nebula

G'day everyone. this one is from last night. I knew when I started that I only had one and a half hours before this went down behind the neighbours shed, so I did something that I had never tried before, 10min subs. I managed to get in 9 subs and lost two to guiding errors. Hope you like it, as usual critique and advise is very welcome.

Image details:
Object: M16 eagle Nebula
Location: North of Townsville NQLD
Camera: Modded Canon 1100D Astronomic CLS-CCD clip filter
Scope: Carbon Fibre Skywatcher 8" f/4 astrograph, MPCC
Exposure: 7 x 600sec @ ISO800
Guiding: QHY5 4" f/5 newt and PHD
Captured with: APT - Astro Photography Tool
Stacked in DSS and processed in Photoshop CS2

I have attached a version from before my final colour tweek in PS. At the time I thought it was too red but I will let the public decide. Thanks.
