M16 from Astrofest - F10 (2x barlow, 450D, MPCC on 8 inch Newt)

Its been bugging me I still have images to stack and check out from AF, but now I'm finding things I forgot I snapped! I do recall at the time thinking the time spent trying to image with a heavy barlow hanging out of the newt had been wasted, however median stacking often hides a multitude of sins....

I haven't imaged with a barlow much at all - its only a GSO ED barlow - surprised at how much I had to fight the green and blue down (almost like having a light pollution filter in). Flats with barlow in not taken, so all things considered pretty happy with this in the end.
