M16 Quick grab (Ha) + IC1396 update (130pds)

[Uranium235]

Ive just got round to processing some data I took before going on holiday (now returned). M16 only got an hour because I can only image it once it passes the meridian (due to a tree), and it wasnt even properly dark.

But while waiting for M16 I took the opportunity to add another 60 min on Ha to IC1396, I reckon it needs another couple of hours to be spot-on in terms of noise reduction. Once thats out of the way I can concentrate on adding some OIII.

Thanks for looking

I think it's great what you're able to squeeze out of that little 130PDS, Rob - These are both excellent...!

Thanks all

Im hoping tonight that I will get to the stage with IC1396 where I can do a manual sort on the subs (rather than just chucking them all in). And, if I dont have another senior moment and try to shoot OIII with a Ha filter like I did last week (doh!), I will attempt to bin the OIII as I have a cunning plan in regard to processing

Im pretty sure the OIII in IC1396 doesnt carry any structure that would be lost by binning, so it would be merely for adding colour.
