Telescope: Scopos 80mm f/7 triplet
Camera: Qcam9 mono
Filter: 1.25" Baader 7nm H-alpha, O-III, S-II

Captured another 6 x 450s subs last night and stacked them with my previous data.

12 x 450s at 1x1 bin.

Full size 2948 x 2001

Sadly the O-III and S-II data wasn't very good and suffered greatly from M16s low position in the sky.
The blue (O-III) had some excess fog/haze in it i couldn't remove, hence the blue area to the upper left.
The red (S-II) suffered from the same but towards to lower right.

My first shot ever of M16. I've always wanted to capture this object.
Used GREYCstoration noise reduction in Nebulosity. I'm very pleased with the results.

5 x 300s at 2x2 bin.
