M16 & the Pillars of Creation

Hi everyone.

Well last night I decided to give 5 minute exposures a test as well as taking darks, flats and dark flats... or is that flat darks??

Anyway the target was M16, the Eagle Nebula. I wanted to see if I could image the "Pillars of Creation", and despite some guiding issues that I was having I think I've done a passable job. It's amazing what a difference taking flats have made as well!!

Parameters:
7x5 minute subs
1 5 minute dark
4 flats
3 dark flats
ISO800

Any feedback would be greatfully appreciated.

Cheers,
Mario
