M16 with more data

[geordie85]

I made so many mistakes whilst capturing this data from not checking focus, plugging the lead into the wrong slot on my filter wheel to forgetting to click start on APT. But after all the silly little mistakes i made i ended up with 15 x 300 Ha subs, 11 x 300 S11 subs and only 7 usable 300 O111 subs.

And here is the end result

After all those mistakes you end up with a beautiful image of the eagle.

Thanks. 

I've lost count of how many times I've reprocessed this data, and I'm still playing with it.

Nothing wrong with that... you never know what you end up with.

Very true. I have been ending up with very similar results each time, but I'm really enjoying finally having some data to play with.

Another reprocess

Looks great zoomed in which is the real test of an image.

Thanks Carole. 

I was hoping for more detail but since this is less than 3 hours of data I don't think that's going to happen. 

I'm hoping I can get more data before this disappears behind the neighbours house.

Lovely image!

What kit are you using?

This one is my next target, also in narrowband.  I had a go last night, but the wind kicked up causing havoc with the autoguiding.

Hope to try again tonight.

Thanks. 

I'm using a william optics flt 98 carbon fibre scope with a 0.8x Reducer/ Flattener. Qhy183m, astronomik 12nm ha, O111 and s11 filters in a starlight Xpress USB filter wheel all sat upon an neq6 mount. 

Good luck tonight

Yet another reprocess of this data. Due to poor weather, i have been unable to collect any more data.
