Knew it was touch and go last night alot of high cloud. Anyway, battled on.

I have always thought that M16 was too low for me because of the house. What a serprise when I thought I would have a look & it was within my sights.

Very bad sky, aircraft trails, clouds,  had to delete 6x300 subs, but was pleasantly surprised at what i got. I had put the O II & S III filters into the wheel,  but did not use them, I think M16 has to be done with these filters.

Wow that's really nice. The stars are slightly tadpoley but great detail.

Well MIke, the guiding went off so much because of high cloud, I had to delete 6 subs & continued to cringe when looking at the guiding graph


Mike where is your M27 from DSC?

Sitting on the laptop waiting for me to process it. I may have some free time around December.

Great image Fay.
Looks like I will be asking you a few questions when in France, and I don't mean 'what's french for pear cider?'  ;) I mean advice.

That's lovely Fay. I don't think I have seen a post of M16 here before, it's a bit unsual.

I'm sure both Mac and Mark have posted M16 at some point.

Usually done in red I suppose Duncan. I think Mark has done one. You going to DSC?

That's a very good Eagle, Fay.  Lots of detail there.

Duncan, I did one a couple of years ago at DSC:
