Hello everyone!
Well I've been waiting 2 years to re-image this baby and I finally managed to find the time last night.
Despite the smoke from burn-offs in and around Brisbane I was happy enough with what I was seeing to continue with the imaging of M16. This image has the usual for my imaging - 8" newt with a QHY8L, Baader MPCC and a Baader UHC-S filter. Guiding with a QHY5 on an Orion ST80 using PHD Guiding. 29 x 5 minute subs, darks, flats and dark flats. Stacking in DSS, processing in StarTools and tarting up in GIMP.
It's not as sharp as I would have liked but I'm still happy with the result - so here it is, my rendition of
The Eagle Nebula
Cheers,
Mario
