Hi All,
My first attempt at the eagle Nebula for the year. Mainly used as more learning time with the STC Duo Filter.
I resisted the temptation to go for a high ISO to really test my theory that my camera has better dynamic range at ISO 400 rather than 800 and I think I’m right. The colours in my recent images have been quite washed out where as I found it easier to get saturation with this one.
I’m not super happy with this image. The last time I imaged it it was with my C5 and I think this object responds better visually with the longer focal length. I am hoping I can attempt it with my 9.25 at some point framed on the pillars which are somewhat lost in this wide field version.
