Here's an attempt at M16 using an unmodded Nikon D40 on my C100 ED. Total time is 3 hours in 3 & 4 minute chunks. ISO 800

I've processed it a few times and I'm not happy with the color. It's hard to get the reds on this camera.

Nice work, I'd say! I think the color looks very natural, particularly the image on the first link. Those of us using unmodified cameras are not going to get the knock-your-eyes-out reds of a modified camera, but the framing, sharpness and detail you captured still makes for a nice image.

I am living vicariously through other folk's imaging success...check out my CSC for tomorrow!
