I have been gathering fifteen-minute subs of M16 for the past week, to add to the first lot I captured a week ago.

Here is a total of 5.75 hours

I tell ya, it is well worth the effort and a visible difference when you take the time to create darks and flats for subtraction, plus the extra subs. Really.

Baz.

Looking good, Baz, you have earned it!

Thanks Fay.

I think by stretching it so much to bring out the fainter outlying areas, I forgot to keep an eye on the histogram and the colours are off.

I ran them all through Deep Sky Stacker to see what that would do, and paid greater attention to colour balance.
