Description

This is a Ha preview out of 3x300s frames. Normally I do not publish results like this, but for the given conditions I am quite satisfied. It was my first attempt on the M16, because from my home observation point this object is visible only for not much more than half an hour.

At the end of a session targeting another object I just tried to "see" M16 first time at all. The photos were taken between 3:20h and 3:40h in the morning under significant moonlight and quickly increasing light from dawn. The amount of background light doubled during this short session.

Processing in Fitswork and Adobe Lightroom.
