Eagle Nebula M16

[wayne anderson (Wayne)]

I rushed the alignment and focus when setting up so my image is a bit rough from lack of focus and drift in tracking, I used startools to sharpen it and repair the stars, its not too bad considering the origional data was so rough, next time I will be more attentive and also add more subs.

100 x 25sec subs at iso 3200
12" LX200 (alt/az setup No guiding)
Sony Nex-3 DSLR Camera
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools and Gimp

Looks great.

Thanks Kevin, Jo and Laurie.

The image was taken at f6.3 using the meade series 4000 field reducer/flattener.
