Very impressive Peter, that resolution is looking nice and sharp You've captured some good detail in the dark globules too, providing a nice sense of depth.
I'm sure the final colour image will be awesome.

Ta Rolf... Managed to get three hours of OIII, needs way more, plus more again of SII....sadly all on hold due work and weather...
Like eagles, RHA's are a rare bird. I'm not sure if AP will be making any more.
That's the sort of telescope I'd like but work commitments
& bad weather are making it not worthwhile.
We seem to have had 4 months of clouds in Melbourne.
Thanks Paul...that makes two of us anticipating a result.
I've come to the conclusion M16 is a hard target to really do well....particularly given Hubble's version burnt into the public psyche..
I'm guessing at least 6 hours of OIII and 8 of SII ....with good seeing or it will be ho-humm.
Yep that would be about right. I did this last year but never posted the results. I had to stretch the subs too much because I was not exposing for long enough with the TSA.. With that monster though you ought to get it done pretty quick. The Hubble palette on this looks pretty good and there is even a nice red blue version getting around too, Rob Gendler has one like it and I modelled my image at the time on that. In any event it will have lots of signal for you to work with.
