M16 with the CDK-20

Sorry guys not as much time to spare lately in imaging. Lousy weather with high moisture and some fog didnt help yesterday either.
Struggled to get as much data as i could, just poor conditions.
Of course the bad light pollution in this area doesnt help.
I really need to get a IDAS LPS filter, as its just a shame to waste such a great scope on sky glow.
Too boot, i noticed some PEC in the subs, so i have to fix it in PHD next time.
Quickly processed, with a little too much sharpness.
Sorry for the tiny file size guys.

Scope CDK-20
Camera QHY-8
Exposure 140 minutes (30x5 minute subs)
Cropped slightly to remove drift (Alignment, another thing to fix one day !).

OOPS, sorry, forgot : No darks flats or bias used either.
