M16 – a “freebie”!

Hello,

On my way to setting up for an imaging run to capture Terzan 11, I chose M16 as a target to acquire some LRGB test data, to fix some auto guiding issues, establish the positions of the LRGB filters in my borrowed CFW10 filter wheel and to monitor the droop and slippage in the over loaded Crayford focuser.

Surprisingly, I ended up with some data that I thought I could work with, punched through CCDStack and finished in CS5. Although it’s probably a tad grainy and perhaps slightly overcooked, it is data that I didn’t expect to work on, so it’s a freebie!

Mewlon 180 F12 at F9.6 (1728mm efl).
SBIG ST2000 with CFW10
6x5mins L and 1x10min each RGB
Cropped and re-sampled to 1024x768 from original 1600x1200.

Thanks for looking!

Dennis
