Talking Another Eagle Nebula

This image has been taken with a Lightbuckets scope. This was just a little test run to see what kind of results I could get with Lightbucket scopes. And a way to get my hands on some data.

This is the first time I have processed RGB data, so it was a little daunting at the beginning. Wasn't really too sure what exactly I was doing but I was able to get a decent image in the end. The total exposure time is only 20 minutes of data. I am extremely amazed of what I was able to create with such little data. Nothing special but for such little data but it really shows how sensitive this setup is.

Lightbuckets 12.5" RCOS, Apogee Alta U16M, 8 mins for L unbinned, 4 minutes each for RGB binned 2x2. Each exposure was 2 minutes.

Images stacked in Deepskystacker and the rest processed in PS CS4.

Really would like a couple hours worth of data now.

Comments and critique will be much appreciated.

Thanks for looking.
