M16 with QHY9

First colour image with myQHY9 and 18" Newt. had the usual problems of the clouds rolling in 10 mins into each session imaged only 30 mins RGB through light cloud. Ha was little better only 40 mins over 3 nights.
After rebuilding my fork mount over the last 3 months I finally coaxed it to follow a star. I threatened to replace it with a Lx200 and it decided to work.
