Dear all,

This is the 1st capture of M16 by me and my astro friend Petming, using TEC140 F7 refractor on top of EM200-Temma2 mount.

We were lucky to have about 2 weeks of clear nights in early July broken by 2-3 nights in-between. Lots of opportunity to try out various astro equipments.

8 images of 5 minutes each at ISO800 taken by unmodified Canon 350D.
