Here's my shot of the Eagle Nebula.

The image was taken using my 8-inch f/6 telescope and the unmodified Canon EOS 300D, hand guided with my 4.5-inch guidescope.

This image is composed of 2 x 5 minute exposures @ ISO1600 and 3 x 10 minutes exposures @ ISO400, a total of about 40-minutes exposure time.

There's a medium resolution verson of the image at http://www.skylab.com.au/pmsa/Messie...%20Nebula.html

I think the individual exposure times were too long and that resulted in many of the brighter stars "burning out" and becoming white, oh well, I know for next time.
