M16 pillars

[traveller (Bo)]

Had another go a processing the pillars in M16. Severely cropped of course.
Reasonably happy with the result, maybe a tad too much blue
Comment welcome.

I like the colours on this one
Reminds me of my first image of the Eagle.

Cheers, Evan

Thanks Evan,
Yes my interim M16 has a very orange cast to it, but I was experimenting
I will revisit the wide field version and see how I go. I had to tone down the red in this image in order for the pillars to show up more, so the nebulosity didn't show as much.

Looks good Bo.
Stars are a bit out of alignment though, some red/blue edges showing, more so as you get out towards the corners.
Nice 3D feel to the image too

Thanks Andy
Is the misalignment from the optics from the misalignment between the scope and the camera?

Really nice image indeed

Very good detail and great colours.
