Description

This is the first image I've been brave enough to upload to Astrobin. I started imaging in mid-April, 2020, when my ASI294mc Pro arrived. I had captured the Eagle nebula before using ~300 x 1 second exposures, but increasing exposure to 5 seconds and collecting only 120 frames produced a better quality image in my opinion. Pixinsight to remove background gradients and improve contrast a bit. Image captured on a NMT 16" f4 dobson, servo cat / argo navis tracking. Bortle 8 skies, IDAS LPS D2 filter.

For the final image, I applied Topaz DeNoise AI
