My go at M16

[simmo39]

After seeing the images of M 16 in this thread i was hooked. I didnt realize how low this target was and having to fight cloud, poor seeing and lights i got this. Not my best but im v pleased with the end result. Taken with my modded 600d through my 130 PDS  10 x 4min exposure at 800

And here is the crop.

Hints and tips welcome.

Had a little play and did a close crop, a bit grainy.

Great image! Was this done with a DSLR?

Nice! I must try this one when I can get a clear LP free view low and south!

Did you use DSS? If so, turn in signa-kappa stacking and that faint satellite trail will disappear.

Nice capture some great detail.I think the colour looks really good on the top two images  but appears a bit orange on the close crop

Hi, no used pixi, will try some other stacking settings in that to try and get rid of it. Think i really need more data to help.
