You didn't have long on the Eagle at this time of year and it was very low for you, so well done!

I plan on imaging the Eagle in summer in the mountains in Portugal. Nearest street light: 10 miles away in a tiny village. Nearest city: 70 miles away. Can't wait great images too love the Elephants Trunk!

Thanks for the comments guys ,I think I was a little fortunate as the seeing conditions were probably as good as I've seen here,

But I've also been eagerly awaiting for this part of the night sky ,If it had been much lower I would have been taking subs of the obshed wall, started taking lights of the eagle about 0200 and finished the run at 0400 not long before the dawn light was due ,Sagittarius will soon be high enough here so looking forward to some more interesting targets,
