The Eagle-M16

Hello,

Yeah,I shot some Ha on this last night too! It was a little scary as middle of the night thunderstorms have been rolling through regularly here and I was hoping I wouldn't get caught sleeping and have one come roll through

No storms but seeing was poor and a few high clouds came in late ruining the last few exposures.

Stars are not as sharp on this as I would like,still have not really nailed collimation on the scope and think maybe I made it worse.

Ok,thats all my excuses,here is the image and details,

13x600s 6nm Ha filter
12" Meade ACF OTA at F6.8
St-10xme
1200gto guided with an e-finder and remote guide head.

Framed to get as much interesting stuff in my FOV as possible!

Thanks for having a look,comments and critiques welcomed,

Jason

Collimated or not you captured some very interesting features. I like the contrast between the delicate features below the pillars and the more bold 'arrowhead' above the pillars. Nice work.

Hi Jason!

So, *this* (the ACF) is the long-fl scope you got, eh? Nice job with this image! Looks like a winner! I do see a bit of stars stretching on the lower half of your image, towards the lower right corner in this orientation.
