This is M16, the Eagle Nebule, taken Saturday night in the heavily light polluted skies of the Houston area. It is my first image with the new (to me) FS-128.
Details:
SXV-H9 monochrome imager
FS-128 with focal reducer to F6
SXV guider (on Borg 76ED with Meade focal reducer to F2.2)
Astronomik Ha filter
Celestron CI-700 mount
12 each - 5 minute images, Sigma Combined in MaximDL. I tried a few stretches (linear and Gamma), but saw no improvement, so I left the image as-is except to crop it.
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
Steven Jindra
