M16 a nice surprise shame about the clouds

[Fay]

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.

[Fay]

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?

[Carole]

Well done Fay, lovely clear detail.

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.

[Fay]

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

[Carole]

I don't think I have seen a post of M16 here before

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?

[The Thing]

I'll be there, busy week this week so might not be until later in the afternoon, 5pm I hope.

[MarkS]

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

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

[Mac]

Mac.

ps.Dial up is killing me.

[The Thing]

I've seen it with bins in Normandy, clear as day, except it was night. Is the local horizon low enough at Les Grunges? It might make a good target for those dark skies.

[Fay]

Yes I think it is visible there

[Rocket Pooch]

It is there I imaged it a few years ago.

Very nice Fay, well done.

I think there are a handful that have been posted and that's right up there with the best of them.

Last time I tried that from home it was framed nicely by Leylandii from neighbours two houses away

Oh thanks Robert. Yes I was surprised as the sky was  so claggy & guiding graph was like the Alps!
