M16 Eagle nebula (between the clouds and Fog!)

[carastro]

Got an opportunity at the weekend to go to a dark site with a good southern horizon. However after a really clear evening as usual the clouds rolled in. Got a short window at 1am but then it became foggy, so only managed 2 x 5min subs. Since I can't get this from home (trees in the way) not sure when I'll get a chance to add to it. Stars were a bit elongated in the first sub, (? guiding settling), if I had managed more than two subs I wouldn't have used it.

2 x 5mins 800 ISO, Modified Canon 450D

Oh I would so love to be able to get to see this... I'm so envious! A great capture for just 2x5 mins, especially with it being so low down in the murky stuff...
