Eagle Nebula
The Eagle Nebula has been on my list all year and I got a reasonably dark sky (Bortle 4) over two nights last week here in Gippsland.
Seeing was not brilliant - typically 3 - 4 arcseconds but with some short periods below 3 or above 4.
Being an occasional user, I'm still discovering features in PixInsight and it was after I processed this image that I found something that would use criteria to select certain subframes. Based on that late analysis, I should have tossed out about 20-25% of what has been integrated into this image - oh well........
This is the first time that I've tried the Generalised Hyperbolic Stretch. It seems like a tool that I should practise a lot more.
The second shot is a crop of the first.
Nikon D750 on a Meade 14" SCT FL = 3556 mm
197 x 1 min (no guiding)
Processed in PixInsight
Cheers, Chris
