Here is a work-in-progress M16, it needs lots more data to overcome the noise but I'm happy with the way it's going.
I started taking 20 minute subs but soon realised I wasn't getting much of the faint stuff over the insanely light polluted sky, especially in SII, so I switched to 30 minute subs. I'm getting a considerably better SNR with 30 minute exposures but some of the brighter stars are maxing out - I guess that's just a feature/limitation of the KAF-8300. I'll take some shorter subs for the stars when I've got enough data of the nebula.
