First Neb with new Rig (M16 Eagle Nebula)
I’ve spent the last 2 weeks or so at my Obs on the South Coast and although there’s been a few clear nights , the seeing has been terrible ( south westerly air streams ?? )
Last night was probably the only night worth imaging as the moon wasn’t up until after 10pm but unfortunately cloud rolled in at 9.30pm so only captured just over 2 hours on the M16 Eagle Nebula.
Conditions poor , Star scintillating like crazy
Acquired data was pretty good but noisy ( an additional 4 to 6 hours would have made a huge difference, but the bad weather continues….. )
This is my first “nebula” image from the new rig
