Title: M16 and M17 wide field...
Post by: RobertM on Jun 06, 2010, 22:26:55
This isn't particularly great due to guiding problems and not so great transparency to the south but shows the area quite well.

3 x 600s FLI ML8300 + Canon 200L lens at f/3.2 with Baader 7nm Ha filter.

It does look very good Robert and it's very unusual to see the Eagle at that scale!

Really nice. Shame you couldn't get more exposure of this subject.
