M16

Well at 5hrs 40mins worth of 5 minute subs I'm ready to call it a day on this one. I am overall happy with it but I lost plenty of data to a declination guiding issue. The telescope is on the work bench right now being shortened to accommodate the adaptive optics unit I have here for it. Hopefully that will help to address my problems.

Funnily enough, no darks for this one. When I calibrate this image with darks from my library I seem to loose data and gain noise. Something is amiss there I think.
