A Narrow-band Eagle

Hi all,

I captured this last month across 5 nights with only an hour or so per night average as it was up late and I had to work most days (and I captured another object earlier in the evenings). I ended up with 4hrs 45 minutes of useable dual-band data on this object from Bortle 7 skies.

Telescope: MN190
Camera: ZWO2600mc
Filter: Antlia dual-band ALPT

Hi Res available here: Astrobin Messier 16

I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out for a limited capture.
I think I really prefer this pallette with Ha being red rather than burnt-orange but of course everyone has different tastes. I've probably overdone the saturation a bit but .

Comments and critiques welcome.

Pete
