Hello fellow forum members,

Clear skies last night so I collected more data on the Eagle nebula. Funny how clear skies coincide with the near full Moon isn't it?

I finally got an SII filter so last night I shot 12x600s of SII on this and added 6x600s of OIII to the data I already had making this image two hours each Ha,SII,OIII processed in the Hubble pallette. Even with the narrowband filters,with the Moon so bright and near my target I picked up some gradient,especially in the OIII subs. All in all I'm pretty happy with the result though I think it could be sharper. I decided not to rotate the image here for easier viewing.

Thanks for having a look,let me know what you think!

Hi Jason!

Nice job! Looks like you addressed that star elongation issue, too! Were you able to figure out the source?

Jason,
The image came out great. You have true tri-color data in the narrowbands - the processing came out quite nice.
