M16 in H-Alpha, AP-130 F/6, SXV-H9

Hi Ralph,

That's well done. You are missing alot of the fainter nebulosity in the region due to severe black point data clipping. Open your image in your image processing software and look at the histogram. Your data is just barely peaking on the extreme left (black point) of the histogram. Try reprocessing your raw data but attempt to adjust the histogram to look more like a bell curve. This will preserve the beautiful M16 "eagle" in the center but also bring out the fainter portions of your Ha image.
